Court debate over Chesterfield letters copyright
In Edinburgh on July 18 the Court of Session heard Mr. Dodsley the London bookseller sue defendants Charles Elliot and Colin M Farquhar in Edinburgh over an edition of Lord Chesterfield letters to his son. The case tests whether the Queen Anne statute protects such works and whether the widow Mrs Stanhope or heirs have rights to publish. Defenders claim no property for Stanhope while pursuer asserts the author’s literary property and rights of the possessor of manuscripts. Proceedings may last several days with defense arguing law upholds piracy under present interpretation.
