Right. So one of the things I am hearing loud and clear is that our
community would generally like to see more money spent on lobbying
efforts for copyright reform. That is a point very well taken.
However, our task at the moment is not to dream about _that_ per se, but
rather to dream about what kinds of work under existing copyright, we
would like to see made free. There have been many good suggestions, and
I welcome more.
