Does Dr. O'Dell not agree that RTÉ is the one with the copyright and that it needs some protection? It cannot just make this material freely available to everybody. There have to be some rules and regulations. Dr. O'Dell answered the question very honestly and I thank him for that but to be fair, RTÉ has made its archives available. Why is this Bill necessary? I am asking the question because I want our guests to convince me that it is necessary.
