Big problem with the #RWAShitshow book: do I include the documents or not? Can I include public statements or not?

I quote a lot of people. A LOT. Snippets with reference links, mostly.

I have to go back over the whole book soon and either get permission or start cutting.

Almost everything I quote is publicly available in some form. But will it remain so?

I'm covered under fair use in the US and fair dealing in Canada, because this is commentary and criticism.

There are a few things I think I should absolutely include in full:

The complaints.
The response.
RWA public statements.
The audit report.

...still think I might get sued.

Then there's the question of whether I try to get public statements from Tisdale et al. They've been almost silent since it all started.

I'm on vacation right now. Perfect time to get the work done.
