@SecurityWriter @jeffjarvis @lisamelton Sure they do journalism. But they use others' content to do it all the time. I.e. quoting other articles and embedding tweets. If this lawsuit succeeds, it erodes the fair use rights that allow them to do so. Imagine a world where, to quote/embed a tweet in an article, you have to first have a signed contract with the author. Would that hurt the big institutions with legal departments more, or independent writers?
