I don't believe the rebalancing of the rights is that difficult or that we need to change that much.
if I buy a work of at from an artist and take a million photographs of it and put them up around my house, am I harming the artist? If I slap a museum sign in front of my house and charge admission I might be harming the artist, but then again, the artist was not going to make money off the original picture anymore having sold it to a private individual. Now if I made some copies and sold them that is probably a violation.
Copyright needs to look at the artist's and the buyer's rights. It's not rocket science, but we continually pander to corporations. It's the capitalistic way.
