@Eris @MorphBox @Neo_Dolus @TheQuQu @ledocool431 @special-boy @switchpoint The justification is right there in the constitution: To promote the sciences and useful arts.
I'd agree that an effectively unlimited copyright like we have now has no justification since nobody is making stuff so that some megacorp can make an extra 17 cents 80 years from now, but giving people a decade or so to profit off their works before giving it to the public does have some sense behind it.
