Welcome to the website of the Creators' Copyright Coalition. We at the CCC are committed to access to our creative works just as we are committed to copyright: we work for copyright legislation that ensures both. Here on our op-ed pages we will be posting opinion, commentary, links, and news of interest to creators and others engaged in copyright reform. Elsewhere, you'll find our archive of studies, handbooks and press releases. And while we're not currently hosting a discussion forum, comments sent to us may be posted or noted here (unless you ask us not to).
Next time they tell you copyright was invented for publishers by the Statute of Anne in 1702, link ‘em here. It’s a copyright case from c560 AD, resolved on the basis, “To every cow belongs its calf, to every book belongs its copy.” Copyright’s as old as creativity, and as natural.
