Copyright is everywhere. Your smartphone incorporates thousands of items of intellectual property. Someone owns the reproduction rights to photographs of your dining table.

It wasn’t always so. Copyright has its roots in eighteenth-century London, where it was first established to limit printers’ control of books.
