3. The Intent...
“The primary objective of copyright is not to
reward the labor of authors, but "to promote the
Progress of Science and useful Arts." To this end,
copyright assures authors the right to their
original expression, but encourages others to
build freely upon the ideas and information
conveyed by a work...This result is neither unfair
nor unfortunate. It is the means by which
copyright advances the progress of science and
art.’’
-- Justice Sandra Day O'Connor
