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.

This week on my podcast, I read my @Medium column, "Big Tech Isn’t Stealing News Publishers’ 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/
It's been 15 years since Bucknell U film prof Eric Faden made "A Fair(y) Tale," a short film that explains #FairUse by stringing together short, fair-use-qualifying clips from Disney movies. It remains an amazing accomplishment!

15 years later, Bournemouth's Claudy Op Den Kamp and her students decided to create their own version of Fair(y) Tale - this one explaining UK #FairDealing exceptions to copyright, using clips from #TheSimpsons.
