		<description>This is another facet of extremism that cannot be tolerated in a Free Nation.  I&#039;m an artist and avid supporter of copyright.  That said, I find great value in the ability to gain access to material that I can use for my own edification (not employ in any commercial venture).  Google and YouTube are exceptional resources, and it&#039;s their quality that makes it such a threat in the minds of many copyright holders.

However, we appear to jump beyond our limits of balanced judgment when we seek to play the role of Big Brother.  Imparting an all-out campaign against users of information, which majority does not seek to profit illegally from someone else&#039;s work is shortsighted and not representative of an acute understanding of evolving technologies.

Granted, there is a responsibility on usage for which all users must be held accountable.  Yet we should focus on facilitating a vehicle for usage that is not infringing, but still allows accessibility beyond the ranks of pure commercialism.

This process appears to be a long and arduous one.  My comments here will appear to contradict those posted on my blog (samdel.wordpress.com) on the so-called &quot;orphan works&quot; bills.  However, my concerns on that copyright-related topic mirror those presented here.  In America we seem to be extremist and inept at finding true solutions, which by definition would encompass a balanced and fair assessment of both very simple and complex subjects.</description>
