If you had even the slightest knowledge of what you think you're talking about you'd realize these committees are set up to help improve their income base. What's "wrong" with the current copyright laws is that it exports the money somewhere else. Or the money never gets there due to rampant piracy, caused by the unavailability of the content in that territory.

access shifting fixes this problem, if the copyright holder doesn't licence it to that territory then anyone within that territory can get it and fill that need.
It the same principle as time shifting : tv stations provided time shifting it was called re runs
the still could provide reruns if they wanted too, in fact they did
however they lost the ability to stop other people from competing (VCR) in the fair use time shifting space.
that competition resulted in a market so big that it exceed all other markets combined (home viewing market)
