Abstract
It makes sense to discuss the history of copyright before open access. This chapter will establish the background for context. In order to understand the significance of open access repositories, it would be reasonable to be aware of the relevant debate. Therefore, it is necessary to trace the historical development of the concept of copyright as a property right. The continued relevance of the rationales for copyright interests, both philosophical and pragmatic, will be assessed in the contemporary times of digital publishing.
