Perhaps it was only broken for a brief period. The download link works fine now.

falconwolf, You made a slight error. The Jefferson quote I posted was written well after 1790. In fact, you will notice at the top of the link I posted that the letter was dated 13 Aug. 1813. Further, I did not state that Jefferson opposed the use of copyrights and patents. I merely quoted his letter concerning whether ideas are property, which is crucial to discussing this topic. If you read Jefferson's letter to McPherson, you would find that Jefferson advocated a utilitarian view of copyrights and patents:

Society may give an exclusive right to the profits arising from them, as an encouragement to men to pursue ideas which may produce utility, but this may or may not be done, according to the will and convenience of the society, without claim or complaint from any body. Accordingly, it is a fact, as far as I am informed, that England was, until wecopied her, the only country on earth which ever, by a general law, gave a legal right to the exclusive use of an idea. In some other countries it is sometimes done, in a great case, and by a special and personal act, but, generally speaking, other nations have thought that these monopolies produce more embarrassment than advantage to society; and it may be observed that the nations which refuse monopolies of invention, are as fruitful as England in new and useful devices.

I believe it is time to repeal this clause of the Constitution. Some of the advocates of the Constitution promoted such nonsense to make America a mercantilist union.
Below is a fitting quote from a letter that Thomas Jefferson wrote to Isaac McPherson ( http://press-pubs.uchicago.edu/founders/documents/a1_8_8s12.html ) :

If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it. Its peculiar character, too, is that no one possesses the less, because every other possesses the whole of it. He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.
