With regard to royalties, we propose the adoption, not of a number of systems, as is proposed in the bill, but of only one. The ephemeral recording provisions include very specific conditions that are in effect inapplicable. It is impossible to control what is done in people's homes, in private life. This complicates the system. In these conditions, users are no longer reassured because they don't know whether they're entitled to do what they do. With regard to private copying, a single system combined with a royalty would reassure all users. That would enable them to make copies without having to be concerned.
