As the Reporter for the Restatement of Copyright, I've stayed mostly quiet and allowed the Restatement to speak for itself. But since there is a group of people intent on distorting and maligning it, I want to highlight this thread by Brandon Butler, who served as an advisor to the project. 1/

regrettably if you try to point this out online you'll get yelled out by 79208 journalists going OH SO YOU WANT JOURNALISTS TO STARVE??? even if you're, say, a journalist yourself, and point out that while there are clearly no easy answers, the status quo isn't exactly working for society
