> this report will fall short of what we would like to see

It does, but whatever compromise is going to be reached it will have to be in the middle of extremal positions.

This report emphasizes very important aspects of the question: the necessity of a fair equilibrium between the interests of producers and consumers of information, the importance of fair use and above all the extraordinary importance of a rich public domain, free of attached strings of any kind.

I would love to see more steps, however small, towards the center, by holders of extremal positions, on both extremes of this equation.
