You're expressing a lot of confusion about the arguments against our making a living from our creative work, and believe me, I share your confusion. I've been arguing about copyright online for a good decade and a half, and I still don't understand why there is this reluctance to pay.
We talked about rate. Mr. Landon talked about the $14.31 and how it used to be $26. Again, I can tell you that as a consumer of education, $26, $45 or $100 would be a bargain for the amount of copying that is done in post-secondary education right now, so the fact that it's at $14.31 is just an absolute bargain.
Mr. Landon also mentioned that fair dealing is a question of balancing the rights of the user and the creator. It's clear what we're talking about here: It's 10 years of non-payment and $150 million owed. We are way out of balance in Canada, and the argument that we just need this little balancing mechanism is long past. We need to rebalance copyright and we need that done through the recommendations.
