"The idea that creator remuneration is /secondary/ to the actual purpose 
of copyright law is often left out of a lot of related public discourse. 
Most artists (and most lawyers I've met who represent artists or 
corporate creators) would put creator remuneration at the center of 
copyright. But this opinion (quoting from many, many other opinions) 
affirms again that "[p]romoting the creation and dissemination of ideas 
has been the goal" since the Statute of Anne, and that this is because 
the creation and dissemination of ideas is a public good."

" In the appellate court's ruling, Judge Toflat puts it this way: if 
fair use allowances are too liberal, "we run the risk of eliminating the 
economic incentive for the creation of original works that is at the 
core of copyright and---by driving creators out of the market---killing 
the proverbial goose that laid the golden egg." The ongoing supply of 
golden eggs is obviously the point of the law---but it seems to me that 
this makes feeding the goose a primary concern, not a secondary one."
