The Copyright Evidence Portal gives access to the world’s current knowledge about copyright law and its effects – as a data-minable Wiki catalogue and through visualizations. It includes the Copyright Evidence Wiki, a digital resource intended to construct a complete catalogue of existing empirical evidence relevant to copyright policy in order to inform public debate.

Copyright Evidence

A digital archive of primary sources on copyright from the invention of the printing press (c. 1450) to the Berne Convention (1886) and beyond. For each of the thirteen geographical areas covered, a national editor has selected, transcribed, translated and commented on documents. Primary Sources on Copyright is co-produced with CIPIL / University of Cambridge.
