This isn’t advocating a complete abandonment of copyright law altogether, but merely reforming it back to how it was originally conceived by the Founders.

The concept of the founders was that arts and sciences would be advanced through securing exclusive rights. And they were correct. There is a reason why so much scientific advancement is made in the USA.

Advancing arts and science was the aim and exclusive rights for a limited time was the means to enact that aim.

A well regulated militia was the aim and the recognition of the right of the people to keep and bear arms was the means to enact that aim.

In 1790 patents were issued for the term of FOURTEEN years, with the right to renew for another FOURTEEN years!

So by all means, restore it back to what was envisioned by the founders. But that isn’t what you really wanted now is it?
