Given that digital technologies have recently given copyright holders the ability to upset the traditional balance in the Copyright Act..." A confusing statement. Starts out talking about the balance betwwen the creator and the public and then switches to the balance between the cioyright holders anf the public. For God's sake. The copyright holders are not the creators. The difference is like night and day. The copyright holders are mostly thieves and foxes. The creators are mostly artists and naive. Never confuse or mix them together in the same paragraph without explaining the differences. Legislators are in the pockets of the copyrigh holders. The creators have no one in their pockets. Peole are confused enough. “The first is signed by people from right across this country in regard to developing new copyright legislation that recognizes the careful balance between the rights of the creator and fair public use.
