The next question is: Should people have the right to do commercial verbatim copying? Or is non-commercial enough? You see, these are two different activities we can distinguish, so that we can consider the questions separately &mdash; the right to do non-commercial verbatim copying and the right to do commercial verbatim copying. Well, it might be a good compromise policy to have copyright cover commercial verbatim copying but allow everyone the right to do non-commercial verbatim copying. This way, the copyright on the commercial verbatim copying, as well as on all modified versions &mdash; only the author could approve a modified version &mdash; would still provide the same revenue stream that it provides now to fund the writing of these works, to whatever extent it does.
