Where does title 17 mention property rights? In fact, this is a very good example of why property rights trump copyrights. There is no real USC title for property rights, because they need not be given but enforced. They are enforced by criminal law in many cases, and by tort law in the rest. Regulation of Copyrights is delegated to congress in Article 1 section 8 of the Constitution, but regulation of propertty rights is never granted to the Congress at all. In fact, amendments 4, 5, and 10 of the Bill of Rights place limitations on what Congress may do to property rights, 10 basically stating that if the Congress hasn't already been delegated it, Congress can't regulate it (of course you should see some of the loopholes that they can now drive n entire superhighway [pun intended] through...) >Thanks, > > -- I can be immature if I want to, because I'm mature enough to make my own decisions.
