The basis for US copyright law was established in the Constitution. For this reason Article 1 section 8 clause 8 has become known as the "copyright clause".
"To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries."
It was originally proposed on August 18th, 1787 and ratified for inclusion on September 17th, 1787

∙ 12y agoThe first copyright law used concepts from the 1662 Licensing of the Press Act (which had been signed by Charles II), altered appreciably by the House of Lords. The 1662 act in turn was loosely based on the Licensing Order of 1643, which was more concerned with libel than with copyright.
