        @person1 I work in publishing for schools and it is *so* difficult/expensive to publish support for literature or media. Fair use & fair dealing laws can only get you so far. Great Gatsby finally coming out of copyright was a big moment. But the reason it’s come out is of course because it’s not actually recent literature any more.

            @person1 textbooks! And now ebooks and e-learning platforms. Look at this extract as an example of y, or analyse it to find examples of x, or watch this performance of a scene from a play as a good example of z.

              thank you for clarifying :) I think here in Poland academia is covered by fair use, not fully sure though
