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?"

    What sort of sig is this?
    Why the hell you use MSIE when you can use Firefox (with all its purported exploits)?

    Gmail does NOT suck. Try using Yahoo mail or better yet Hotmail. Hotmail works on MSIE.
