U.S.: Colonial/Early State Copyright Acts Did all the U.S. states have copyright laws after the American Revolution? What was the main problem with these early state copyright statutes? What did the Framers of the Constitution do as a result of this problem?

Patent and Copyright Clause U.S. Const. Art. I sec. 8 cl. 8 The Congress shall have power... 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

Historical Trends in Copyright Law 1. Progressive expansion of copyrightable subject matter 2. Expansion of duration 3. Growing U.S. participation in international copyright system 4. Steadily reduced importance of formalities

Important Federal Statutes Copyright Act of 1909 (predecessor statute, some works are still governed by its approach) Copyright Act of 1976 (current statute) Many amendments to the Copyright Act of 1976, e.g. Architectural Works Copyright Protection Act (1990), Digital Millennium Copyright Act (1998) etc.
