Like all successful businessmen, Durer worried about fakes of their works, while there was no law on illegal copying. Dürer began to use the monogram on his work, the letter D in the "legs" A.

And just got from the Emperor Maximilian to be protected from the paper copies, the first version of the copyright.
And such protection, he engraved on the work of "Life of Virgin"
Keep! You sly poddelschik, alien to the work and the prig ideas of others. Think before you run your hands in my work. Beware! I have a paper from the magnificent Emperor Maxmillian that nobody has the right to make copies of my works and sell them. Listen!
