Hope this helps.<BR><BR>1. Copyright law and copyright originated in the UK from a concept of common law; the Statute of Anne 1709. It became statutory with the passing of the Copyright Act 1911. The current act is the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988<BR><BR>2. Annual Returns are regulated by Companies Act 1985 (as amended in 1989 and later). If you need more info go to the Companies House website www.companieshouse.gov.uk.<BR><BR>Susan<BR>
