In the 1500s and 1600s, copyright laws were rudimentary and often tied to the privileges granted by monarchs or local authorities. The printing press's invention led to increased demand for written works, prompting some countries to establish regulations to control publication and distribution. In England, the Licensing Act of 1662 required authors to obtain permission from the Crown or designated authorities before publishing, effectively granting monopolies over certain texts. However, formalized copyright as we understand it today did not emerge until the late 18th century with the Statute of Anne in 1710.
