However, due to the evolution of the times and the continuous advancement of technology, the variety of works is also increasing. The UK's Anna Act, the world's first copyright law, began to protect the rights and interests of creators, not just publishers.

In 1791, France enacted the Law on the Rights of Performers, which began to pay attention to the protection of the performance rights of creators. In 1993, the Law on the Rights and Interests of Creators was promulgated, and the spiritual rights and interests of creators were further valued.
