The Constitution has a broad concept of copyright law but there have been over 200 years of changes and case law that has developed. Pretty much any filmmaker I know thinks of themselves as the owner of a film and since I can't imagine any of them living 95 years past their creations as a practical matter they are correct. As it happens the basic definitions of "fair use " did not become codified in US law till 1976 though case law existed prior to that. If you do not want to see yourself as the owner of a film you make that is your right but the majority of filmmakers feel otherwise and while money is a major issue, the ability to control one's work is certainly a bigger issue with filmmakers I work with.
