The Copyright Act, and the global Berne Convention, are designed to protect professional creators for the benefit of global culture and to enable artistic genius to flourish by compensating those creators whose works are most popular with the public. I am sorry that you feel that the fair use doctrine is too narrow to accommodate the desire of hobbyists to steal the creations of others with impunity. I can guarantee, however, that we in the copyright bar who represent authors, composers, songwriters, artists, painters and other professional creators will continue to make sure that the laws in place now to provide such protections remain on the books and are vigorously enforced-- including through technological means.

Gee, you've gone and hurt my feelings. But I must admit, young socialists living in their parents' basements are so earnest.
