In our coalition we have — in no particular order — songwriters, filmmakers, graphic artists, business software designers, authors, photographers, performing artists, video game developers, newspaper and magazine publishers, and amateur and professional sports leagues. But this doesn't comprise the universe of copyright owners who benefit from their copyrights. Take lecturing genealogists, for example.

The lesson here? There is virtually no limit to the number of people benefited by copyright in virtually unlimited ways. Frustration with one aspect of copyright for one type of creator should never be addressed by undermining copyright itself.
