It's just not the case that copyright has ever been understood to mean that if you use a copyrighted work in a way unintended by the copyright owner that's 'theft.' Much more fundamentally, who are the real thieves out there? The public domain was supposed to be fed with new work beginning in 1998 that's been taken away from the public. It's been taken away by Congress legislating to extend the terms of existing copyrights. I think that is theft from the public as much as there is theft going on in other contexts. The presumption about copyright is that it has always been a narrow protection against a commercial competitor. It has never been an entitlement for copyright owners to control the use of copyrighted work. Libraries buy works and make them available to people in an way which copyright owners may not always like. But with new technologies, copyright owners now can control the use of copyrighted works. Copyright owners now just need to wrap content in digital form, and if a library tries to simply facilitate what it's always done, the library is branded a thief. That is a massive expansion of the power copyright owners have over their content. There needs to be a much better debate because the thing that's at stake here is the concentration and control over the future of our culture. People need to recognize how copyright has changed in a relatively short time -- 50 years -- and decide whether the values that marked the Constitution's framing are going to be valuable in the future."
