fine.  Let's say I buy you're theory of "balance", here's an essay by RMS
calling for a new copyright proposal.  Not for the outright abolishment of
copyright, just simply for a new "copyright deal".  That sounds like
balance to me.  Read the whole essay, it may help you refine your opinion
on this "balance" thing.
