[Page] 229 [My Comments] A general transformative use exception was also a part of the Soviet copyright law – and with the same excuse: to ensure the most benefits to the “society”. Transformative works are important for our culture, but they should not be necessarily unauthorized. Just because I can take good photographs, does not mean I would be justified in stealing a camera. [Quote from Patry’s book] 
Sometimes that means giving one set of authors the right to stop other authors from doing unauthorized acts with copyrighted works. Sometimes that means giving the latter group of authors the right to do things with copyrighted works without permission or payment to the first set of authors. When this latter event occurs, it is not through a limitation or exception, it is instead through the ordinary operation of copyright law acting in the public’s interest. Authors – all of them – do not stand in opposition to the public interest, but solidly within it. “Limitations and exceptions” insultingly and inaccurately suggest they don’t.
