It's been a minute since Linkletter's case arose, so I'll give you a little recap here. Proctorio is a massive, wildly profitable ed-tech company that sells a surveillance tool to monitor students while they take high-stakes tests from home.

...yet, #libraries and their readers have routinely engaged in lengthy battles to defend the ability for libraries to fulfill their mission and serve the #publicgood.

Last week, @Gizmodo's @lincodega caught a killer scoop - a leake Hasbro's plan to revoke the decades-old #OpenGamingLicense, which subsidiary @Wizards promulgated as an allegedly #open sandbox for people seeking to extend #DungeonsAndDragons:
gizmodo.com/dnd-wizards-ofā¦ 1/

The report set off a shitstorm among #DandD fans and the broader #TTRPG community - not just because it was evidence of yet more #enshittification of D&D by a faceless corporate monopolist, but because Hasbro was seemingly poised to take back a #commons. 2/

Indian media and social media for years have ignored the death of Habeas Corpus, which is the cornerstone of any democratic Republic.
Now they are trying to find legal justifications for #AfreenFatima's house being demolished at express speed.

This 1966 paper is one of the best ones I've read about Nazis and bureaucracy. Given that sanghis are pretty much following the 1930s playbook of their old allies, it reads as if written about today's India.

This week on my podcast, I read my @Medium column, "Big Tech Isnāt Stealing News Publishersā Content," on how the news media's focus on charging tech firms to link to them is totally misguided, and misses the real issue: the rigging of the ad market.

Countries all over the world - France, Australia, Brazil and now Canada (#BillC11)- have fallen in love with the idea that the answer to the news media's woes is to create a new licensable copyright over "snippets" of news that users post to social media. 3/
Public show with synthetic #SandyHook characters 2/15/22 was odd. No judicial input on the docket regarding FALSE REALITY settlement. Legit world, settlement agreement invalid if made under fraud. Connecticut & #AllTheRest need to defund governments. Criminals have usurped power.
Does settlement mean you're guilty?
Legally, no ā in fact the court rules and rules of evidence encourage parties to settle matters whenever possible, and neither offers of settlement nor actual settlements themselves are admissible as evidence of guilt or wrongdoing. #SandyHook

So essentially, what the criminals, playing #SandyHook court, are saying is that all "evidence' for trial that would have had to be approved as admissible by a judge can now be used as propaganda. Real Attorneys in this game? #IDoNotThinkSo #SandyHook

@Inferbro while legally & technically the entire #ContentID-Fuckup of @YouTube is to be blamed 75% on the #CopyrightMafia, that's even assuming someone get's 50k subscribers and can make a living from Videos.
@Inferbro As a personal example: @4ltYT was killed by the #AdPocalypse, and now I've a single-digit ā¬ balance of #Advertising #revenue on my @YouTube's @GoogleAds/#AdSense with no reasonable chance to ever reach 1st payout of ā¬70 cuz in the meantime, I had to get another #Job.
@Inferbro this really puts on a huge damper on my plans to release content, and with <1k subscribers on @YouTube it's not worth opening up a @Patreon, @Flattr or @kachingle for the few cents per month - espechally when this would be taxable income to file.

A #copyright #Halloween Story: I was reading about @internetarchive's project to digitize the Marygrove College #Library collection. About halfway through the article I was horrified to see a copyright myth brought back from the dead!š§On Halloween!šlibraryjournal.com/?detailStory=iā¦ /1
The myth from the article is that somehow #fairuse canāt āextend to creating and distributing complete copies of a copyrighted work.ā From the #SupremeCourt to the #fairuse statute itself, the fair use doctrine does not have a ban on copying or distributing āthe whole thing.ā /2
This is a myth that I, and my #copyright colleagues around the country, have been trying to āmythbustā for decades! So let's take shake down this #fairuse skeleton like #VanHelsing! /3
#ControlledDigitalLending is a method by which #libraries loan books. Publishers are suing to get rid of CDL for good. This is not just an @internetarchive lawsuit, it is an attack on all libraries rights to loan, preserve, & provide access to books. blog.archive.org/2020/07/29/intā¦ /1
Ultimately, this suit about how libraries can continue do what they have always done: lend books. #ControlledDigitalLending is not a brand-new concept. Libraries have loaned books to patrons for centuries. And #libraries DO NOT NEED permission or a license to loan these books /2
Libraries can legally loan books they have purchased or acquired. #Copyright law covers these exact uses. So why are publishers suing over #ControlledDigitalLending? /3
I want EU citizens to know what happened in their name. The @EU_Commission acted as the long arm of multinational entertainment companies to block progressive #copyright reform in South Africa that would have helped millions of users & authors. A thread.
@EU_Commission On 18 February 2019, entertainment industry trade groups IFPI (music), MPA (Hollywood), FEP (publishers) etc sent a letter to the EU Commission, asking them to intervene in the ongoing South African copyright reform on their behalf. asktheeu.org/en/request/791ā¦
Their claim was that the reform would hurt creators, but actual creators were of a different view. Aside from introducing #fairuse, access to books for blind people and those who can't afford textbooks, the bill would also drastically improve the bargaining position of authors.
Hi all! Thrilled to give a Twitter-ized version of the overview talk I sometimes give about the Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Software Preservation. Thanks to @fletcherdurant for inviting me. Read the full Code here: arl.org/focus-areas/coā¦. 1/15
Software preservation is a really important part of digital preservation, and its value is only going to increase. Almost everything we make, now, is written in a language only computers running the right software can read. #prestc19 2/15
So without the right software, digital stuff (images, text, *everything*) is gibberish. Or (sometimes worse) it can be rendered, but only partially, imperfectly, not the way the author intended. Software is a tool, without which digital culture is lost. #prestc19 3/15
