To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries; I'm not a constitution expert, so my interpretation is probably wrong in several ways, but this line suggests to me that it's not so much a right with a time limit, the works of authors and inventors belong to Society and this passage grants to the creator a temporary exclusive privilege to capitalize on the ideas. For my own bias, I'm with the crowd that feels "Creators gonna create" whether this passage existed or not.
