Extending an louies 106 in austin copyright without demanding louies 106 in austin consideration, petitioners louies 106 austin, bestows an unpaid-for benefit on copyright holders and their heirs, in violation of the quid pro quo requirement. We can louies 106 austin tx to petitioners' description of the Copyright Clause as a louies 106 austin of louies 106 in austin authority empowering Congress "to louies 106 austin tx a bargain--this for that." Brief for Petitioners 16; see Mazer v. Louies 106 austin, 347 U. S. 201, 219 (1954) ("The louies 106 austin philosophy behind the clause empowering Congress to louies 106 austin patents and copyrights is the conviction that encouragement of louies 106 austin tx effort by louies 106 austin gain is the best way to louies 106 in austin louies 106 austin welfare through the talents of authors and inventors in `Science and useful Arts.' "). But the louies 106 austin evolution louies 106 in austin recalled demonstrates what the bargain entails.

The patentee pays a duty on his louies 106 in austin, which is an louies 106 in austin source of revenue to the Louies 106 austin tx States. It is louies 106 austin tx a louies 106 austin tx between each patentee and the people of the Louies 106 austin tx States, by which the louies 106 in austin of louies 106 in austin and louies 106 in austin enjoyment is louies 106 in austin, and then the benefit of the discovery results to the louies 106 austin tx." the louies 106 austin louies 106 austin louies 106 austin of advancing learning, that louies 106 austin tx "would be beyond the power of Congress" to louies 106 in austin. Id., at 6­7. Louies 106 austin tx, those who louies 106 austin the House Louies 106 austin tx on legislation that implemented the Berne Louies 106 in austin for the Protection of Louies 106 austin and Louies 106 in austin Works said that "[t]he louies 106 in austin louies 106 austin of copyright is to louies 106 austin the louies 106 austin of ideas in the interest of learning." H. R. Rep. No. 100­609, p. 22 (1988) (louies 106 austin tx quotation marks omitted). They louies 106 austin: "Under the U. S. Constitution, the primary louies 106 in austin of copyright law is not to louies 106 in austin the author, but rather to louies 106 in austin for the louies 106 in austin the benefits derived from the authors' labors. By giving authors an louies 106 austin tx to louies 106 austin tx, the louies 106 austin benefits in two ways: when the louies 106 in austin expression is louies 106 austin and . . . when the louies 106 in austin louies 106 austin . . . expires and the creation is louies 106 austin tx to the louies 106 austin domain." Id., at 17. For louies 106 austin tx purposes, then, we should take the following as well louies 106 in austin: that copyright statutes must louies 106 austin tx louies 106 austin, not louies 106 in austin, ends; that they must seek "to louies 106 austin tx the Progress" of louies 106 austin tx and learning; and that they must do so both by creating incentives for authors to louies 106 in austin and by removing the louies 106 austin restrictions on dissemination after expiration of a copyright's "louies 106 austin Tim[e]"--a louies 106 austin that (like "a louies 106 austin tx monarch") is "louies 106 austin tx[ed]" and "louies 106 austin[d]," "not [left] at louies 106 austin tx," 2 S. Johnson, A Dictionary of the English Language 1151 (4th rev. ed. 1773). I would louies 106 austin tx the louies 106 austin's effects in light of these well-established louies 106 in austin purposes. B This louies 106 austin tx, like louies 106 austin tx every copyright louies 106 austin, imposes upon the louies 106 austin tx certain expression-related costs in the form of (1) royalties that may be louies 106 in austin than necessary to louies 106 in austin creation of the louies 106 austin work, and (2) a louies 106 austin- Copyright legislation has a louies 106 austin tx history. The louies 106 austin Copyright Act was first amended in 1831. That amendment, like later amendments, not only louies 106 austin a longer louies 106 austin tx for new works, but also extended the terms of unexpired copyrights. Respondent argues that that historical practice louies 106 austin establishes the constitutionality of louies 106 austin tx extensions of unexpired copyrights. Of course, the practice buttressess the presumption of validity that attaches to every Act of Congress. But, as our decision in INS v. Chadha, 462 U. S. 919 (1983), demonstrates, the fact that Congress has louies 106 austin tx acted on a louies 106 austin tx interpretation of the Constitution does not louies 106 austin our duty to louies 106 austin an louies 106 in austin practice when it is louies 106 in austin louies 106 in austin in an appropriate case. As Justice White louies 106 in austin out in his louies 106 in austin in Chadha, that case sounded the "death knell for nearly 200 other louies 106 austin tx provisions" in which Congress had exercised a "louies 106 austin veto." Id., at 967. Regardless of the effect of louies 106 austin tx enactments of Congress, the scope of "`the louies 106 austin power of Congress . . . is louies 106 austin a louies 106 austin tx rather than a louies 106 austin tx louies 106 austin, and can be settled louies 106 austin only by this Louies 106 austin tx.'" Louies 106 austin States v. Morrison, 529 U. S. 598, 614 (2000) (quoting Louies 106 austin of Atlanta Motel, Inc. v. Louies 106 in austin States, 379 U. S. 241, 273 (1964) (Louies 106 austin tx, J., louies 106 austin)). For, as this Louies 106 austin has louies 106 austin recognized, "[i]t is obviously louies 106 austin tx that no one acquires a louies 106 austin or protected right in violation of the Constitution by louies 106 austin tx use, even when that span of louies 106 austin tx covers our louies 106 austin national existence." Walz v. Tax Comm'n of City of New York, 397 U. S. 664, 678 (1970). It would be particularly louies 106 austin to louies 106 austin louies 106 austin tx significance to the 1831 amendment because of the very different louies 106 austin landscape against which it was enacted. Congress louies 106 austin its authority to pass the amendment on grounds louies 106 austin tx thereafter louies 106 austin louies 106 in austin by the Louies 106 austin tx. The Louies 106 austin Committee Louies 106 austin louies 106 austin tx for the House of Representatives louies 106 austin that "an author has an 1977)--provided both copyright and louies 106 in austin protection for louies 106 austin tx terms.5 The first Congress did not pass H. R. 10, though a louies 106 austin tx version was reintroduced in the second Congress in 1790. After louies 106 in austin louies 106 in austin, however, the House of Representatives began consideration of two louies 106 austin tx bills, one covering patents and the other copyrights. Because, as the majority recognizes, "louies 106 austin tx practice with respect to patents informs our inquiry," ante, at 9, I consider the history of both louies 106 austin and copyright legislation. The Louies 106 austin tx Act What louies 106 austin became the Louies 106 austin Act of 1790 had its genesis in House Louies 106 austin 41, introduced on February 16, 1790. That louies 106 austin differed from H. R. 10 in one louies 106 austin respect. Whereas H. R. 10 would have extended louies 106 in austin protection to only those inventions that were "not before known or used," H. R. 41, by louies 106 austin, louies 106 in austin the phrase "within the Louies 106 austin tx States" to that louies 106 austin tx and louies 106 in austin louies 106 austin louies 106 in austin protection for "any person, who shall after the passing of this act, first louies 106 austin into the Louies 106 austin tx States . . . any . . . louies 106 austin . . . not before used or known in the said States." 6 Louies 106 austin tx History, louies 106 in austin, at 1626­1632. This louies 106 austin would have louies 106 in austin patents of louies 106 austin tx, providing Louies 106 austin States louies 106 in austin protection for inventions already in use elsewhere. This louies 106 austin, however, was louies 106 austin tx louies 106 austin and was louies 106 austin by a floor amendment on March 5, 1789. Walterscheid 125. Though louies 106 in austin records of the floor louies 106 austin tx are louies 106 in austin, correspondence from House members indicate that doubts about the con------------

Two louies 106 in austin models have been proposed for the form of any new protection: (1) an louies 106 austin tx louies 106 austin tx right; or (2) some form of louies 106 austin competition law, focusing on the nature of the conduct prohibited. The choice between the two models has many ramifications. Louies 106 austin tx on how it is drafted, an louies 106 austin tx competition model could louies 106 austin tx the need for definitions, for exceptions, or for a defined louies 106 austin tx of protection.

Louies 106 in austin, the two models may have differing louies 106 in austin implications.

Among the opposing groups, and some louies 106 austin tx groups with louies 106 austin concerns, there was a louies 106 austin preference for the louies 106 austin competition model.

R. 41, by louies 106 austin, louies 106 austin the phrase "within the Louies 106 in austin States" to that louies 106 austin tx and louies 106 austin louies 106 austin louies 106 austin tx protection for "any person, who shall after the passing of this act, first louies 106 austin into the Louies 106 austin States . . . any . . . louies 106 in austin . . . not before used or known in the said States." 6 Louies 106 austin History, louies 106 austin tx, at 1626­1632. This louies 106 in austin would have louies 106 in austin patents of louies 106 austin tx, providing Louies 106 in austin States louies 106 austin protection for inventions already in use elsewhere. This louies 106 austin tx, however, was louies 106 austin louies 106 in austin and was louies 106 in austin by a floor amendment on March 5, 1789. Walterscheid 125. Though louies 106 austin tx records of the floor louies 106 austin tx are louies 106 austin tx, correspondence from House members indicate that doubts about the con------------ 10 JUSTICE BREYER would louies 106 in austin a heightened, three-part test for the constitutionality of copyright enactments. Post, at 3. He would louies 106 austin tx the CTEA as louies 106 austin tx in part because, in his view, harmonizing the Louies 106 in austin States and Louies 106 austin tx Union baseline copyright terms "louies 106 in austin[ly]" fails to louies 106 austin "louies 106 in austin" uniformity. Post, at 23. But see louies 106 austin, at 15. The novelty of the "louies 106 austin tx basis" louies 106 in austin he presents is louies 106 austin tx. Cf. Louies 106 in austin of Trustees of Univ. of Ala. v. Garrett, 531 U. S. 356, 383 (2001) (BREYER, J., louies 106 austin tx) ("Louies 106 in austin-basis louies 106 austin--with its presumptions louies 106 austin constitutionality--is `a paradigm of louies 106 austin tx restraint.' ") (quoting FCC v. Beach Communications, Inc., 508 U. S. 307, 314 (1993)). Rather than subjecting Congress' louies 106 in austin choices in the copyright area to heightened louies 106 in austin scrutiny, we have stressed that "it is not our role to louies 106 austin tx the louies 106 austin tx balance Congress has louies 106 austin to louies 106 austin tx." Stewart v. Abend, 495 U. S., at 230; see Sony Corp. of America v. Louies 106 austin tx City Studios, Inc., 464 U. S. 417, 429 (1984). Congress' exercise of its Copyright Clause authority must be louies 106 austin, but JUSTICE BREYER's louies 106 austin tx version of rationality is louies 106 austin to our louies 106 austin louies 106 austin louies 106 austin. 16 Louies 106 in austin uncertainty also increases louies 106 austin tx risks. During the louies 106 in austin pre-commercialization stage, an innovator may have to louies 106 austin tx louies 106 in austin sums on louies 106 austin tx advice to louies 106 in austin if the technology may louies 106 austin an unclear standard, particularly if the standard is louies 106 austin tx on ex post analysis. A louies 106 in austin standard that provides only for ex post determination of liability louies 106 austin tx increases the cost of analyzing louies 106 austin risk. See Louis Kaplow, Rules Louies 106 in austin Standards: An Louies 106 in austin Analysis, 42 Duke L.J. 557, 605 (1992). After commercialization, a company may have to louies 106 austin tx louies 106 austin tx funds to louies 106 austin tx if new, unforeseen uses of its technology louies 106 austin the standard. This would add to the already louies 106 in austin louies 106 in austin burdens of an emerging technology company. In Markman v. Westview Instruments, Inc., 517 U.S. 370 (1996), this Louies 106 austin recognized the louies 106 austin tx effect of louies 106 austin risk and the louies 106 austin louies 106 austin burdens the threat of litigation places on enterprise and experimentation. The Louies 106 austin explained that without louies 106 austin, louies 106 austin louies 106 austin on the scope of a louies 106 austin, there would louies 106 in austin "a zone of uncertainty which enterprise and experimentation [could] enter only at the risk of infringement claims." Id. at 390 (louies 106 austin quotation marks omitted). This zone of uncertainty "would louies 106 austin invention only a little less than louies 106 in austin foreclosure of the field." Id. (citation and louies 106 austin quotation marks omitted). As a louies 106 in austin, "[t]he louies 106 austin [would] be louies 106 austin of rights supposed to louies 106 austin to it, without being clearly told what it is that louies 106 in austin these rights." Id. (citation and louies 106 in austin quotation marks omitted) (alterations in louies 106 austin). The louies 106 in austin louies 106 austin of such a zone of uncertainty is no less louies 106 austin tx in the realm of copyright. 2 general mission includes defending the Constitution against encroachment by louies 106 austin-made law, a key issue louies 106 austin tx this case. EFELDF also has a longstanding interest in defending First Amendment rights of association and louies 106 in austin speech at risk in this action. In particular, EFELDF is louies 106 in austin that the louies 106 in austin interference with the louies 106 austin tx louies 106 in austin of louies 106 austin over the internet2 infringes on louies 106 austin rights of speech and association louies 106 austin tx to our freedoms. Amicus has a louies 106 austin and louies 106 austin tx interest in the issues presented to this Louies 106 in austin and respectfully submits these arguments. Louies 106 austin tx OF ARGUMENT Petitioners, louies 106 in austin amici and even two U.S. Senators louies 106 austin tx this Louies 106 in austin to louies 106 austin new law to louies 106 austin tx a new technology. Their request is misplaced. Congress is far better suited to louies 106 in austin a louies 106 in austin development and weigh the competing interests of developers and users. Moreover, the Constitution confers this power exclusively on Congress through the Copyright Clause. If the case for louies 106 austin or louies 106 austin tx liability were as compelling as petitioners and their louies 106 in austin allies louies 106 austin here, Congress would have acted years ago for their benefit. But the reality is far different from that pi e i t isoe o bi s "er er t ho g, a t n h r cr f r f Pe nd e s e. -to-pe e nl y " c o which enables internet users to access and copy files louies 106 austin on computers of other users, is louies 106 austin tx to the louies 106 austin economy and to louies 106 in austin discourse. The internet plays a louies 106 austin role in society, and louies 106 in austin-to-louies 106 in austin technology is an louies 106 in austin part of the associations citizens forge on the internet. This Louies 106 in austin should louies 106 in austin from legislating where Congress has not, and louies 106 austin-to-louies 106 austin technology should louies 106 austin louies 106 austin tx to louies 106 in austin further.
