   	I'm in a position to work towards laws in any direction.   
      
   	And I see something wrong in copyright infringement. Just not in  the   
   same way, under all the same circumstances, as you.   
      
   	If copyright remained as it used to be, I'd be much more in favor of   
   fairly strong (though not draconian) enforcement. Copyright as   
   corporations want it to be, no, I'm not in favor of it.   
      
   	Note that my position on this has changed considerably since, oh, about   
   2000 or so. In that year, I can find postings in which I argued   
   passionately for copyright lasting nigh unto forever.   
      
   	Interestingly, that was BEFORE I became a published author, who -- one   
   would think -- has vastly more reason to favor copyright enforcement.
