[Avodah] ethics outside of Torah

[David Riceman]

RMB:

<<If his argument were more about the law itself, you would need a lawyer

with an expertise in early to mid 19th cent CE Galician or Polish law.
But I don't think that's his point. More that the law shows a general
moral tendency to respect the desires of the author.>>


I don't know about Galicia, but in mid nineteenth century USA the rights 
generally went to the publisher, not the author.  If you read 19th 
century haskamos you get the impression that that seems to have been 
true for Jewish books as well.
