Copyright Act proceedings at Bow Street on map publisher
At Bow Street magistrates court, Wyld map engraver faced four counts under the amended Copyright Act for failing to send correct copies of maps to the British Museum within a month of publication. Evidence showed several maps not delivered or properly accounted for, with discussions on retroactive intent and potential penalties equal to the value of each publication. The magistrate affirmed the obligation to deliver copies, foreseeably upholding significant penalties per map. Public notices followed detailing cross-Atlantic travel and a pursuit of a London merchant who fled debt, resulting in arrest in Boston and return prospects.
