Legislative moves to strengthen the position of copyright holders may only make consumers more cynical. Holders must develop an "ethic of responsibility" toward users based on principles such as "no hoarding," "no censorship," and "no charge without value." Holders must honor their responsibilities if they expect users to honor the holders’ rights. The alternative will be broad-based consumer complicity in copyright infringement.
