In the 16th century, British copyright law made it possible for members of the Booksellers ' Guild ( Company of Stationers or Stationers' Company ) to have the title of a manuscript entered in a book register (book roll) for a fee and thus receive the sole right to print the work . The copyright law thus emerged in the Anglo-American legal community as a copy right of the publishers , not as a copyright of the authors ( droit d'auteur ).
