And in 330 BC. there. a law was passed prohibiting correspondence with texts tragedies known authors, as well as the actors who played in these tragedies, modify the original work (official text), which, in turn, kept the official archive [5]. The turning point in the formation of the system of legal protection of copyright in England was April 10, 1710 – the day that marked the end of privileges and the advent of the Charter of Queen Anne. This Charter is the first regulatory text that the author admitted his inalienable right to property created by him.

The theory of individual rights presented in the works of Kant, Gareysa, Salleyl, Berar. According to this theory, despite the fact that the historical development of copyright basically pledged property protection component, but all the rights guaranteed by law, contain inherently personal right website that has unlimited duration and can not be subject to any action of any by creditors, it is the right website to keep his work secret or make it public [5].
