I'm not sure what you mean here. If the subject is the value of the public domain then you'll note that I said "more definitively value". If the arguments in support of extending copyright further are financial ones, then the best counter will be a financial one. The public domain has a value but it is difficult to define and measure, and I suspect its value may have changed since copyright was first introduced.
