The point I am making, though, is that what the US Constitution says on the matter is not what's currently done. The Constitution authorises Congress to "to promote the progress of science and useful arts" by means of a copyright law. Do you really believe that current US copyright law is doing this? I'm afraid that I don't.

I'm certainly not against intellectual property rights. Far from it!
