That would be a strange ally!

I have long felt that the difficulties when our collective copyrights 
are breached would be greater than any problem we would face in trying 
to abide by the rights of others.  We have any number of layers to 
protect us from legal liabilities from copyvios, but there is very 
little effort to deal with being on the other side of the dispute.  This 
is definitely a point that I would raise before the Board if elected.
