Culture and the copy

Lara Kriegel is telling us that the copy of culture is actually improving. She is explaining that these new cultures used by people are being originalized from old cultures. We get to realise that piracy was forbidden,as in cultures were not supposed to be copied from the original. Copyright was then created but it wasn't strong until Tennent and his allies came. Tennent and his allies increased the popularity of copyright in order to stop "design piracy", they continued hard to eliminate it. A debate was then held by these people and their opponents. the people who were for copyright argued that its law might encourage original design. on the other side, the opponents argued that copyright tends to change the geography of the trade, its mechanisation, the growth of the retail sector and the process of calico production, calicoes are cheaply printed cottons whose success lay at the heart of the consumer and industrial revolutions. By mid-eighteenth century, women were happy in prints for dresses,shawls,handkerchiefs etc. produced by provincial trade, provincial manufacturers sold similar stuffs only changing colors and being bolder. this copyright system has succeeded because people liked it and benefited from it. Nowadays this copyright is more used than in the past. various things are being made from the original.
