[Page] 179 [Quote from Patry’s book] Regrettably, currently both authors and the public are ill served by our current laws: authors go unpaid for many legally compensable uses, while many uses that should not be compensated for are the subject of claims by copyright owners. What are the reasons for this unhappy state of affairs? In the case of uncompensated uses where income should flow to authors, there are two reasons why things have broken down. The first reason is the sheer volume of unauthorized activity made possible by digital formats. There is no effective way to control most of this activity, so the solution is to figure out how to compensate for it. Doing so entails giving up the ideology of copyright = control = money.

Welcome to Soviet copyright law, comrades! Let us have the government figure out how to compensate authors for unauthorized use of their works through digital formats. The government is so efficient, everything is going to be great. Keep walking, nothing to see here…
