Thank you for being here at committee today.
My first question will be in regard to previous testimony that was provided by your organization in 2011 when the committee was reviewing the Copyright Modernization Act. Your group appeared before committee and promised that the addition of education to fair dealing would have no negative impact on creative incomes, and that you would pay collective licences and would continue to do so after the amendment; that you were not trying to get material for free. Since 2012, you're claiming vast amounts of work for free. There have been hundreds of millions of pages printed. That's been documented. You have not been paying collective licences, and creative incomes have been in serious decline.
Do you still stand by the earlier testimony provided in 2011, that there would be no impact on creative incomes?
