Evidently you believe that patents and copyrights were established for the benefit of corporations.

You do realize that the original intent of the founders was to provide income to the actual creator during his lifetime, right?

To you the Constitution is a "living document" that should conform to your whims.

Evidently I believe that patents and copyrights were established by our founders to promote the useful arts and sciences. That was the intent of our founders - and yes the effect would be the provide income to the creator, his estate, and/or his corporation.

Do you think “corporation” is a bad bad word that should invoke revulsion and derision in all good men?

The Constitution is a document of words with set and definite meaning. The meaning of the Constitution in regards to patent and copyright law is clear - and it is clearly in line with my own view.

Socialism where all property, physical or intellectual - belongs to ‘the people’ (i.e. the State), and where “corporations” and “profit” are bad bad things seems to be the credo your delusions are more in line with.
