NATURAL RIGHTS Natural Rights are linked to the logic of Property . John Locke is often cited as an authority, although it is not clear that Locke actually viewed copyright as a natural right. Personality Rights are the basis of German copyright. CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS Article One of the United States Constitution authorizes Congress "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts , by securing for limited Times to Author s and Inventor s the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries".
