No surprise that a person who supported the governments horrible #c18 legislation and the online streaming act, also supports directly taking away users #fairdealing rights under #cooyright.

Sigh. This government is making all the wrong decisions and are getting support for it the whole way.

But what about #FairDealing (similar to #FairUse)? Linkletter argued that linking to a video that shows that Proctorio's assurances to parents and students about its products' benign nature were contradicted by the way it talked to educators was fair dealing. Fair dealing is a broad suite of limitations and exceptions to copyright for the purposes of commentary, criticism, study, satire, etc.

"These claims are grounded in multiple inaccuracies."

"While these claims have been repeated again and again for years, they simply do not withstand even mild scrutiny."

I took a shot at making some fair use memes in preparation for a fair use related project. What do y'all think? Post your memes in the replies!

@chicagonz thanks! I dressed up as Poison Ivy a while ago to discuss #TM and #Copyright protection of characters, and the application of #FairUse / #FairDealing to #Cosplay which went down well!

@law #LawFedi Following the post above, in an act of shameless self-promotion I published an article on fanfiction earlier in 2022 - check out the article on my open access page:

I'm always interested in opinions about fanfiction - especially whether it should be permitted, but strictly non-commercial? And are there other issues with Real Person Fics?
