I would agree with that. If there were something that could be included in the law to say that locks need to be removed by the publisher or the copyright holder in certain situations where the purpose is for producing an alternative format, then that would absolutely be a better solution. I'm not sure if that's within the scope of the Copyright Act. If it is, then absolutely, that's what we would like to see. The alternative would be to try to make these tools as available as possible, and one way to do that would be to make it so that they would not be illegal in 99% of the cases where they might be used.
