"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".
