[Page] 127 [My Comments] Again, Patry is correct here. We should be honest about it and abandon the reasoning that we protect creators’ right to control their works because it furthers creativity. We do it because taking by force something that isn’t ours is wrong. [Quote from Patry’s book] 
The point is that the need to have some level of protection cannot support current claims that we need a very high and ever-increasing level of protection. Those levels have nothing to do with furthering creativity, and we should be honest about that.
