Abstract
From the creation of the first US federal copyright law in 1790 to the present, those charged with interpreting its meaning have faced a daunting task. Mark Twain joked near the turn of the twentieth century, “Only one thing is impossible for God: To find any sense in any copyright law on the planet.” Anticipating the passage of the 1976 Copyright Act, The New York Times predicted, “no bells are likely to ring [in celebration].” Why? “The matter is simply too technical, complicated and cumbersome for anyone but specialists to get very excited.”
