"Copyright" in 1852? Nonsense!

[edit]

in the 'Licensing' section of this image file's page it says, literally:

The 'Ophelia' painting was made between 1851 and 1852. Does anybody seriously believe that the Copyright concept had been invented by that time? If it wasn't, to say that "its Copyright has expired" is simply a silly lie. --AVM (talk) 03:03, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The concept of 'copyright' was "invented" in 1709 or so - see history of copyright and Statute of Anne. DS (talk) 15:27, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
