U.S. copyright also has a constitutionally defined purpose:

`[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.`

Does the current scheme really promote the progress of science and useful arts? Is the current length of copyright really "limited Times"?

This was argued before, and the Supreme Court decided "Yes, it is, somehow."

Choose any number of years < infinite. It's limited time.
