Has copyright helped to promote freedom of expression by allowing authors to earn a living and extend ideas that are useful to society? Look at specific examples in the text or from your own research and knowledge about key developments in human history that have benefited from authors rights. Consider more recent developments in which large corporations have particular rights and the impact those rights have on individual creators. You can use examples from print, but you may also consider the rights to reproduce music, art, photographs, and moving images.
