Copyright is not part of the constitution. That's flat out wrong. What's part of the constitution is congress' ability to create copyright or patent laws. There's absolutely no imperative to have these laws, and as others have pointed out, there was opposition against this power from several founding fathers, including Thomas Jefferson. It strikes me as either uninformed or dishonest to assert/imply that copyright is a constitutionally granted right.
