WOULD BUT LOFGREN AND BOUCHER WON’T
"The laws that have passed
in recent years have imbalanced the historical balance between
owners of copyrighted works and users of copyrighted works.
The balance has been tilted dramatically in favor of owners
at the expense of users."

IT’S KEVIN KELLY (WIRED EDITOR)
V. JACK VALENTI (MPAA)
The latest entertainment cartel abuse
is extending copyrights. Some of their arguments are laughable.
According to Valenti, the entertainment needs longer copyrights
to convert old materials. "Who is going to digitize these
public domain movies?"
It’s the
very thing you’re fighting. Says Kelly, "I have
an answer: movie buffs. Not only have fans moved almost all
of music into the digital era, they have been busy moving
hundreds of millions of documents onto the Web and are producing
millions of pages of daily reporting and news in Weblogs.
And without the help of paralyzed publishers, avid readers
have already converted nearly 20,000 books in the public domain."
