We have forgotten what the Framers of the American Constitution knew about the nature of IP, and hence we have lost the balance our Framers had in protecting IP.

Good point, Tompe. For the sake of this discussion (maybe the only chance it has to stay sane), and as long as you have
Future of Ideas handy, could you quote or summarize what the Framers of the American Constitution knew about the nature of IP?
I'd be interested in a discussion of how well they integrated their ideas into their understanding that society and its aspects evolve, and therefore so must our understanding of those aspects, and the laws that guide them, evolve. I realize that we've been kicking at this IP thing for quite some time around here, and I suspect many of us are constantly at odds because we do not see the fundamental issues clearly here.
