[Page] 6 [My Comments] Patry is correct here. Today’s copyright laws don’t make any sense and are nothing more than the result of several competing groups of people to carve out some benefits at the expense of each other. This is a recipe for unworkable laws. [Quote from Patry’s book] 
We will never fix our laws unless we clean house and start all over again, this time on a sound, empirical basis: Simply adding on to a failed structure will no longer work... No one should suggest that our copyright laws are rational, deliberate, unified policy instruments, carefully designed to achieve specific social and economic objectives.
