The Constitutional Provision Respecting Copyright

Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Ties to Authors
and Inventor the exclusive Right to their respectiveWritings and
Discoveries.
United States Constitution, Article 1, Section 8
5. In 1790, the first copyright law was enacted.Since then, the
American copyright law has had four major revisions.Generally
speaking, the copyright laws exist for three basic reasons:to
reward authorsfor their creative works; to encourage availability
of the works to the general public; and to facilitate access and
use of the works by the publicin appropriate situations
(Bruwelheide).The rules of copyright are laid out in law books and
ever unfolding case law, but what are the ethical and moral
principles supporting copyright law?
