Thank you.
Thank you, gentlemen, for coming today.
The issue of establishing a new copyright regime goes to the original issues of what copyright was based on, which is remuneration and the public's right to access those works.
The government says this bill will restore the market. But it seems to me, from my many years of trying to feed my family on copyright, that a market is based on remuneration. You can't create new business models unless there's a way that you actually get paid for it. And the criticism we're hearing is that this bill, while giving certain rights for people to access works, has been called an attack on collective licensing.
Is it an attack on collective licensing?
