: THe copyright clause in the constitution says:
:
: ``To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for

: [[What is the argument about ``copying'' being an ``exclusive right''?
: This was elided out.]]
The rights granted to the owners of a copyright are termed ``exclusive
rights'' because they are the right to exclude others from reproducing
or distributing, etc., the copyrighted work.
