Copyright law of the United States - History (prior to this, "[t]he interim renewal acts of 1962 through 1974 ensured that the copyright in any work in its second term as of September 19, 1962, would not expire before Dec. 31, 1976.")[1]

The origins of some of these rights can be traced back to ancient Greek culture, ancient Jewish law, and ancient Roman law.[3] In sixth century B.C. Greek society there emerged the notion of the individual self, including personal ideals, ambition, and creativity.[4]. The individual self is important in copyright because it distinguishes the creativity produced by an individual from the rest of society. In ancient Jewish Talmudic law there can be found recognition of the moral rights of the author and the economic or property rights of an author.[5]
