Unlike buccaneers who plunder treasure from travelers, press-pirates seize reprinting rights from other publishers. In sixteenth-century England, Thomas Dekker first gave the name ‘pirates’ to those booksellers who navigated the dangerous waters of intellectual property by selling in-demand titles under false pretenses. Pirates operated even though London’s Worshipful Company of Stationers closely guarded booksellers’ privileges to print, known as ‘copies.’ Raids on the English book trade escalated until 1709, when a royal statute rescued writers and publishers by arguing that ‘copyright’ accrued always from a work to its author. The 1709 Copyright Act was a landmark in literary history and international property law, although it never entirely stopped piracy, especially across regional and national boundaries. The problem resurfaces today: as global media companies amass rights formerly held by authors, and book pirate bots trawl the digital seas. Co-Curated by UIUC Professor of English Lori Newcomb and RBML Curator of Rare Books Adam Doskey, the Fall exhibition in RBML explores the colorful lives of certain nefarious booksellers, the various means of identifying piracies, and the lasting impact of piracy on literary authorship and intellectual property law. Exhibits include examples of pirated works, books printed with false publisher information, and even a manuscript composed by a real, high-seas pirate that was itself pirated. exhibition catalogs Fri, 18 Sep 2015 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/2142/88339 2015-09-18T00:00:00Z Doskey, Adam V.

Items include a copy of the initial printing of Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address on March 4, 1865; an uncut copy of the New York Herald of April 15, the first paper to report the President's assassination; an oversize lithograph of Lincoln on his deathbed surrounded by numerous dignitaries; and issues of the National Police Gazette which featured vignettes of John Wilkes Booth, the assassin, and his co-conspirators. ”A Nation in Tears” will also include plaster casts of the President's hands and a piece of the blood-stained pillow slip on which Lincoln's head was laid. In addition, the exhibition will display photographs of ceremonies in cities along the route of the funeral train from Washington, D.C., to Springfield, Illinois, as well as sermons, hymns, and artifacts which document the nation's mourning. The exhibition will open at 3:00 p.m. on February 11 at a meeting of the No. 44 Society, the book collecting club of Champaign-Urbana, in the Rare Book & Manuscript Library (346 Library, 1408 W. Gregory Dr., Urbana). The meeting is open to the public. As items in the exhibition are mainly drawn from the Library's Illinois History and Lincoln Collections. On May 1, at 3:00 p.m. Richard E. Hart, past president of the Abraham Lincoln Association, will close the exhibition with a description of the final ceremonies in Springfield: "'Bear Him Gently to His Rest': The Funeral of Abraham Lincoln." The public is invited to this special event which will also take place in The Rare Book & Manuscript Library. Abraham Lincoln; Lincoln, Abraham, 1809-1865--Assassination.

This murder in Sarajevo on 28 June 1914 set in motion the first great conflict of the twentieth century and the first conflagration to involve a world-wide system of empires, treaties, protectorates, and dependencies.
