"Now, there's something puzzling about the year 1774 to anyone who knows a "
"little about copyright law. The better-known year in the history of "
"copyright is 1710, the year that the British Parliament adopted the first "
-"\"copyright\" act. Known as the Statute of Anne, the act stated that all "
-"published works would get a copyright term of fourteen years, renewable once "
-"if the author was alive, and that all works already published by 1710 would "
-"get a single term of twenty-one additional years.<placeholder "

by 1710 would get a single term of twenty-one additional years.<placeholder "

"Astonishingly to modern lawyers, one of the greatest judges in English "
"history, Lord Mansfield, agreed with the booksellers. Whatever protection "
"the Statute of Anne gave booksellers, it did not, he held, extinguish any "
"common law right. The question was whether the common law would protect the "

-"common law would bar Taylor from reprinting Thomson's poem without Millar's "
-"permission. That common law rule thus effectively gave the booksellers a "

+"Eldred was not endorsing piracy. Indeed, in an obvious sense, he was "
+"fighting a kind of piracy—piracy of the public domain. When Robert "
+"Frost wrote his work and when Walt Disney created Mickey Mouse, the maximum "
+"copyright term was just fifty-six years. Because of interim changes, Frost "
+"and Disney had already enjoyed a seventy-five-year monopoly for their "
+"work. They had gotten the benefit of the bargain that the Constitution "
+"envisions: In exchange for a monopoly protected for fifty-six years, they "
+"created new work. But now these entities were using their "
+"power—expressed through the power of lobbyists' money—to get "
+"another twenty-year dollop of monopoly. That twenty-year dollop would be "
+"taken from the public domain. Eric Eldred was fighting a piracy that affects "
+"us all."
