I'd like to thank all of our witnesses for being here today and specifically for sharing some of their viewpoints.
Ms. Cornell, I want to thank you for your analysis. I actually used to run a martial arts school, and next door was a ballet school. You commented on tariffs and the lack of representation. I do think having representation in the discussion around tariff 6.B is necessary, because the model that ballet schools operate under is much different from that offered by a commercial gym, particularly if you look at one like GoodLife Fitness, just with regard to the scale of differences and how they deal with things. Your points are very well taken on that.
With regard to choreography, I do realize there's a very valid point when you have an artist like Beyoncé, and work is being utilized without the artist being given due credit. Of course, that does come out in the wash so to speak, because with the Internet now we can analyze something and judge for ourselves.
As someone with a martial arts background, I know that martial arts instructors are very keen to commercialize where they can. We're taking ancient disciplines, repackaging them, and then calling them our own. There's some copyright that's available in terms of trademarks and whatnot to ensure that someone can market their so-called new discipline in a new way, but by the same token, you're taking movements that have been around for thousands of years. How do you repackage and repurpose, and then claim royalties on them? We've seen in martial arts how now people from right across the world can compare different techniques. If we started allowing people to copyright movements for dance routines, I'm pretty sure we would soon see people starting to claim copyright for their own martial art disciplines. What do you have to say in regard to that concern?
