Disastrously ignorany copyright ruling by a federal judge, who says linking to copyrighted content is infringement, because of the complexity of “coding” a link. Judges should be required to learn basic CS before issuing rulings like this. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/02/federal-judge-says-embedding-tweet-can-be-copyright-infringement …

Isn’t embedding the definition of giving credit? This seems odd to me!

Also, I’m teaching CSD Unit 2 right now to sixth graders. Lesson 9 = links. Took them about five minutes to learn that “complex code”.

A bizarre ruling, and hopefully not precedent setting. It seemingly creates a new quagmire in the area of linked copyrighted content, and to your point, feels like an uninformed legal stance to take. (btw, ignorany works- coders push boundaries, so why not with language too?

This brings to bear a question with an answer I’d love to hear: with no disrepect intended to anyone serving our gov’t, who among the set of all elected officals (at local, state, and federal levels) can demonstrate even a rudimentary understanding of what “coding” is???

There are more than you may think. For example Rep
@jaredpolis in CO. He co-founded Blue Mountain greeting cards, served on many tech boards, co-sponsored pro-CS bills in Congress - Show replies
