Not sure it's 'wankee', but it is in the US Constitution. 
Unfortunately, we don't have a protective constitution in this country.

United States copyright law governs the legally enforceable rights of 
creative and artistic works under the laws of the United States.

Copyright law in the United States is part of federal law, and is 
authorized by the U.S. Constitution. The power to enact copyright law 
is granted in Article I, Section 8, Clause 8, also known as the 
Copyright Clause, which states:
The Congress shall have Power [. . .] To promote the Progress of 
Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and 
Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
