Oh ye of little faith! 

I know Gigi and the gang at Public Knowledge, and I would not
underestimate their strategic positioning or energetic lobbying.  They
do know how to get things done in Dee Cee.

In fact, I already wrote them a note to encourage them to add Section
108 issues to their list, so us archivist and librarian-types might also
get some copyright law reform.  Anyone interested in working on this,
let me know.

The results of the 108 Study group (and orphan works legislation) have 
convinced me that working with what we have may be our best option. It seems to 
me like any copyright reform is likely to result in gains for corporate 
copyright holders and losses for users.
