What Would You Ask For in Copyright Law?

BlastM asks: "The Australian Attorney General's Department, as reported recently on Slashdot, is accepting public input in a review of fair use exceptions (or lack thereof) in our copyright laws. Being an Australian citizen, I'll be directly affected by any reforms that are made, and under the Copyright Act in it's current form it's hard to avoid breaking the law nearly every day, whether format shifting music, recording broadcast TV shows or sharing movies via P2P or with friends. The question I pose to the freethinking minds, here: What fair use rights should be defined under copyright law? Is the use of a static, defined set of rights too restrictive? What's right/wrong with the copyright laws where you live?"

I wholeheartedly agree with you, copyright law in the US is fine the way it is. However, copyright reform for your typical slashbot is for one thing and one thing only; getting shit for free. They want to be able to freely distribute intellectual property across the internet without fear of prosecution.
