For you as an artist, I imagine that the advent of new technology and the Internet and the availability of those tools to distribute your works and make your works available.... They're tremendous tools for you, right? You want to be able to take advantage of those. And if we pass this legislation, you can take advantage of those and not worry that your work is going to be distributed for free to anybody who wants it.
