The purpose of this article is to argue that people have no constitutional right to copy intellectual property, not even under fair use provisions. Of course, as this article is based in the U.S. Constitution, it has little applicability to the world at large. But what is important here is not the legal technicalism displayed but the application of a minimalist principle in the evaluation of our right to reflect what we have seen and heard elsewhere in our own work and expressions. This is not a view that I support.
