"The basic purpose of copyright is the public interest,
to make sure that the wellsprings of creation do not dry up through lack
of incentive, and to provide an alternative to the evils of an
authorship dependent upon private or public patronage. As the founders
of this country were wise enough to see, the most important elements of
any civilization include its independent creators - its authors,
composers and artists - who create as a matter of personal initiative
and spontaneous expression rather than as a result of patronage or
subsidy."
~Abraham Kaminstein, 1965, Former head of the U.S. Copyright Office.
