"Madam President, I have a little story to tell to illustrate my point. Probably the first copyright case in the history of the world took place in Ireland 1 500 years ago, when a monk called Finian invited another monk called Columcille to his monastery. Finian was writing a manuscript at the time. Columcille discovered it and got up each night to copy it. Finian was not pleased and he asked for it back. He did not get it back so he appealed to the High King. The High King heard the case and made a judgment, which was – I will say it in Irish first or ‘to every cow her calf, to every book its copy’. That is as relevant today as it was 1 500 years ago, because copyright and intellectual rights have to be guaranteed. So I say, ‘to every cow her calf, to every book its copy’ and to every author and artist their copyright and intellectual rights."@en1
