That's exactly what we're saying, that writers and directors are the authors of audiovisual content and therefore the first copyright owners.
When it comes to all the things you talked about in your prior question about the exploitation, the distribution, and the financing, they go hand in hand. As an example, notwithstanding that the act is not clear on the question, our director members are asked to waive moral rights as part of the contract they engage with when they're creating content. There is an implicit recognition of their moral rights, if it isn't spelled out in the act. What we're asking for is clarity for something that is already the practice in our industry.
The second point to that is that nobody who creates content doesn't want it to be seen. There is nobody more motivated to have that content out in the world and fully exploited than the people who make it. What they're seeking is fair and equitable compensation for their work.
