I agree with the concept, I disagree with the tone of entitlement that came across in your first post.
And I don't agree with the wording of the constitution either. Copyright should be to protect the financial interests of creators, not progress in the arts and sciences IMO, and it should be worded more directly to speak to that. With progress for the arts and sciences as a secondary goal that's advanced by not letting copyrights extend forever.
The concept I agree with, the tone of entitlement of people/society to another's creations is what bothers me. But it's all moot, as long as copyrights last at least until the creator's death I'm fine with the system. Try to make it shorter and I'll be very upset and very aggressive in writing every elected official I can to encourage them to vote against the bill etc.
