It wouldn't take an amendment. The Constitution authorizes Congress to create copyright laws and patents. It doesn't mandate them.
And I'm not really advocating doing away with copyright as much as I'm wondering whether we should. I think it's worth discussing the ins and outs of it. Yes it would be unfair to some people but so is the present system. We might want to look at which is more unfair and to how many people.
