According to the Constitution copyright is a temporary monopoly granted by the citizens in order to encourage the production of works. If you read <i>Against Intellectual Monopoly</i> by Boldrin and Levine, you will learn that this is not valid economically. Since the framers of the Constitution were so kind as to write down their exact reasoning for this piece of it, we don't get to debate it like the second amendment. <br /><br />The imperative for proper accreditation is entirely a professional one. Whether or not I use someone else's work without proper attribution does not matter to a random person in Iowa since there is no economic ramifications. There may be ethical issues, akin to me telling the truth or not, that do matter to my profession.Harry Buckleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06852940407277570469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1935080067108157507.post-38759934263511624882010-03-09T04:51:57.342-08:002010-03-09T04:51:57.342-08:00Is the function of the copyright, at least in this...Is the function of the copyright, at least in this instance, not so much as to prevent use but to assure that proper credit is given when quoting the article?
