Is Fair Use always a high burden for the education community to defend?  If a license is available, does that automatically negate Fair Use?  If your university is relying on the Teach Act, does that trump Fair Use?  (I'm horrified, by the way, that some think it does). 

I like it that this article is readable, yet cites case law and other authoritative sources. That's always a trick --  to make copyright reading understandable yet not oversimplified beyond recognition.

Butler does it exceedingly well. In a sense, he creates a starter SNOPES for copyright legends that he says he sometimes wishes for.
