By your own admission, it's Constitutional.

I think Silicone valley would exist only they would be a lot poorer for it. The turnover rate for companies would be higher. We also would have less advanced tech. Can't take out all the incentive or it doesn't get developed. The trick is how long you want them to have a temporary monopoly. I believe they should have this IP to recoup their R&D costs. What I object to is the Mickey Mouse factor. That would be never ending copyright. Also what was written 200 years ago evolved into something that the framers would definitely frown on.
