INTRODUCTION.
What copyright has been, is, and ought to be in Spain (1)
A well-known thinker says that property, which is
intimately attached to man, to his personality and to his individual
and social destiny, should reflect every evolution of human life,
and the concepts of intelligence, religious beliefs and the
various sentiments that dominate men and transform
the life of the people, should be transparent in laws
concerning the organization of property.
And in effect, property is so inherent to the human
being that its existence has been a constant fact
since the primitive Ayras to us; including at least
the eventful age of the French Convention,
in spite of which their bold denials
managed to record it among man's
natural and imprescriptible rights.
This universal feeling makes it qualify
as an innate right, because nothing is

INTRODUCCION.
Lo que ha sido, lo que es y lo que debe ser en España la propiedad intelectual (1)
La propiedad, dice un célebre pensador, íntimamente

individual y social, debe reflejar todas las evoluciones de la
vida humana, y las concepciones de la inteligencia, las
creencias religiosas, los sentimientos diversos que do-
minan a los hombres y transforman la vida de los pue-
blos, deben transparentarse en las leyes relativas á la or-
ganizacion de la propiedad”
Y con efecto tan inherente es la propiedad al ser
humano, que su existencia ha sido un hecho constante
desde los primitivos Ayras hasta nosotros; sin excep-
tuar siquiera la azarosa época de la Convencion fran-
cesa, cuyos individuos apesar de sus atrevidas negacio-
nes, llegaron a consignarla entre los derechos naturales
e imprescriptibles del hombre. Este sentimiento univer-
sal la califica de derecho innato, porque nada es tan
