ប្រវត្តិច្បាប់រក្សាសិទ្ធ

The history of copyright law starts with early privileges and monopolies granted to printers of books. The British Statute of Anne 1709, full title "An Act for the Encouragement of Learning, by vesting the Copies of Printed Books in the Authors or purchasers of such Copies, during the Times therein mentioned", was the first copyright statute. Initially copyright law only applied to the copying of books. Over time other uses such as translations and derivative works were made subject to copyright and copyright now covers a wide range of works, including maps, performances, paintings, photographs, sound recordings, motion pictures and computer programs.

Today national copyright laws have been standardized to some extent through international and regional agreements such as the Berne Convention and the European copyright directives. Although there are consistencies among nations' copyright laws, each jurisdiction has separate and distinct laws and regulations about copyright. Some jurisdictions also recognize moral rights of creators, such as the right to be credited for the work. ​ប្រវត្តិសាស្ត្រនៃ ច្បាប់រក្សាសិទ្ធិបាន​ចាប់ផ្ដើម ជាមួយអភ័យឯកសិទ្ធិជាឯកជន ដែលបានអនុញ្ញាតិអោយអ្នកបោះពុម្ភសៀវភៅ ។
