1
00:00:00,940 --> 00:00:06,260
Without the Copyright Office’s cooperation
we probably couldn’t pass the bill, and they recognized

2
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:11,700
that the very problems that I was trying to
solve and others who worked on this bill

3
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,720
were significant problems and that should
be solved.

4
00:00:16,580 --> 00:00:18,539
And, I think they were happy to have them
solving

5
00:00:18,540 --> 00:00:19,320
them for them.

6
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:23,000
The Copyright Office has always been a very
close partner with this office and a close

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,640
partner with, I think, the creative community.

8
00:00:25,340 --> 00:00:30,880
Understanding that if we ever lose the incentive
to create, the rest will go away, and I think

9
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:31,980
that’s a very good way to look at it.

10
00:00:31,980 --> 00:00:34,160
And, I’m looking forward to their work in
the future as well.

11
00:00:34,580 --> 00:00:37,460
The Copyright Office played a useful role in this legislation

12
00:00:37,460 --> 00:00:38,880
by encouraging people

13
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,080
to talk to each other by giving suggestions from time to time.

14
00:00:42,220 --> 00:00:47,260
The Copyright Office should feel good about
the fact that there was recognition and I

15
00:00:47,260 --> 00:00:52,949
think it continues on the fact that this is
a very, very important thing for the creation

16
00:00:52,949 --> 00:00:56,660
of jobs and opportunity for a lot of people,
a lot of talented people.

17
00:00:57,030 --> 00:01:01,600
The Copyright Office is very, very important
and it’s important for Congress to understand

18
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:07,970
that and to more carefully protect the office
and make sure that it is able to function

19
00:01:07,970 --> 00:01:09,290
in a modern way.
