Copyright, derivative rights, and the first amendment

Year: 1990

Type: paratext

Abstract: There is an ineradicable conflict between the First Amendment and even the narrowest copyright. Recent changes in copyright law have exacerbated the conflict by extension of rights over derivative works that could result in ownership of ideas, supposedly ruled out by copyright law. Minimal copyright in works of fact as opposed to works of fiction would reduce though not eliminate copyright interference with freedom of information
