There's no balancing. Limited copyright is legalized theft. Books (and other works of "art") should belong to the rights holder until such time as those rights are voluntarily relinquished.
Since society has some warped view on the definition of property, I'll gladly take the extensions that keep getting tacked onto existing copyright.
