"Literary Copyright" by Charles Dudley Warner is a detailed exploration of the principles and necessities of copyright law, particularly as it affects authors and the literary world. Warner's work makes a case for strong legal safeguards for writers' intellectual property, asserting that authors deserve comprehensive control over their creations, rather than limited-term protections that prioritize commercial gains. The book scrutinizes the copyright systems of its time, finding them lacking in fair treatment towards authors, as they often favor publishers and business considerations. Warner champions reformed author-publisher agreements, pushing for systems of fair trade and artistic integrity that support literary production, and warns against the dangers of allowing market demands to overshadow the true value of literary achievement.
