Copyright is not property in the constitution. How did you come to that conclusion? All copyright is, simply put, is a way to progress knowledge and learning. As per other parts of the constitution, it is not a property right. Just an artificial one.

I am of the opinion that copyright doesn't promote new works. Logically, if you want new works, you build it off of what came before. Copyright doesn't do that. It gives you an exclusive market for a good even though that artificial market may be worse than the regular market.
For example, America ignored foreign copyright until the Berne convention. We had a flourishing book industry but for brits or Germans, they were angry at the loss of sales. Yet, Americans flourished not only from publishing houses creating books, but also authors collected money from touring.
Practically every industry you could imagine was better off from the move away from mercantilism.
If the USA ever Benefited from any type of monopoly, I have yet to read about it from the revolution against the East India Company, to the Robber Barons, to Walmart in the warehousing industry, monopolies have never worked to benefit a nation.
I meant from a liberal viewpoint. I understand that Lessig's work comes from that mindset but I'm not entirely positive if the other books mentioned are told with that type of bias or considered neutral, focusing on copyright without a moral viewpoint.
Has anyone created a similar book from a progressive point of view? I recall Lessig's works but no other books seem focused on copyright in recent memory.
Re: Luckily someone has already done the work for him!
I think the issues call for more attention than just that brief. Judicial education, public education, DMCA exemptions... There's a gamut of things this bill can address to ensure that the people have a voice in copyright that they have barely had in the past 30 years.

Re: Being cynical...
It's an inevitable change of perspective that has built up over 40 years since the copyright system was captured by corporate interests.
