The End Of Copyright, David Nimmer

Vanderbilt Law Review

One December 8, 1994, Congress ended the experiment that it commenced on May 31, 1790, in the first Judiciary Act:' legislating an autonomous body of United States copyright law governed by the Copyright Clause of the Constitution. We witnessed, on December 8, a major change of constitutional proportions; even more significantly, we experienced the first tremors of certain tectonic shifts in United States sovereignty; and, perhaps most significantly, we undertook a sea change in defining the end that copyright serves, the identity of the master in the copyright sphere.

Drawing The Boundary Between Copyright And Contract: Copyright Preemption Of Software License Terms, Maureen A. O'Rourke

Faculty Scholarship

The Copyright Act of 19761 (the "Act") sought to clarify the boundary between federal and state enforcement of proprietary rights in works of authorship by specifically addressing federal preemption of state law causes of action in § 301 of the Act. Unfortunately, § 301 is not a model of clarity, and its legislative history is also cloudy. Consequently, the courts have had some difficulty in formulating consistent decisional guidelines in preemption cases.
