- Dylan16807 4y agoWhen/where was it 7?
- pbhjpbhj 4y agoIIRC under the Statute of Anne, it was 7 (plus 7 if you paid again). It seems like a good balance between private monopoly and public interest for the shirts of artistic works copyright protects.

- Semaphor 4y agoI wonder if that applies to novels that don’t become bestsellers? A book that simply does okay. People buy it, never a ton of them, but always a few, every few days, for a long time. No idea what the answer is, just something that popped into my head.
