Returning to international copyright wars: the Vatican is asserting copyright over future and past (50 years) papal documents.
The rules cover not only encyclicals — the most authoritative papal pronouncements, issued in Latin — but also the Pope’s homilies at his weekly audiences on Wednesdays, and his addresses at Angelus prayers on Sundays.
Ann Bartow sounds the right note, I think, by reminding us that this is about control.
Reading this recent history of the Reformation is ringing all sorts of bells for me, as it were.
