within the original Act – it’s not that we have ignored these am=
endments,
it’s just that they are now considered part of the Acts. Of course, we
are now in the midst of another developing copyright amendment, so when that=
is
passed it will initially be viewed as an amendment, but still part of the
Copyright Act.</span></font></p>
