In the same way, in our public outreach messages, it is better to avoid terms like &ldquo;copyright industries&rdquo;. To call music making and movie-making &ldquo;copyright industries&rdquo; is to cast a business which is about people, imagination, fun, and creative energy in a money-centred, legalistic light. It is like calling car-making a patent industry. If we must use the term &ldquo;copyright&rdquo; for brevity's sake, let us call the industries &ldquo;copyright-based industries&rdquo;.
