[Page] 124 [Quote from Patry’s book] If it is true that the UK creative industries outperform all other European countries and are at the center of the UK economy …, why would those industries need government help, and why would they need even stronger laws since there is no correlation between stronger copyright laws and better economic performance. [My Comments] 
Copyright owners are not begging for favours from the government, they are demanding the government to help them enforce their right to control what they create or invest in. Just because historically copyright laws have been in the form of government grants, does not mean that we should keep pretending that the government creates rights out of the blue. All the government does is protects the ability of creators to enforce the natural monopoly on the results of their creative activities.
