Libraries were a key source of opposition to this bill, especially to the aspects that block the forms of copying that are considered fair use. How did the publishers respond? Former representative Pat Schroeder, now a lobbyist for the Association of American Publishers, said that the publishers &ldquo;could not live with what [the libraries were] asking for.&rdquo; Since the libraries were asking only to preserve part of the status quo, one might respond by wondering how the publishers had survived until the present day.
