Well, there is a solution to this growing problem.
Create FreRepublic University. Run it like the old City College of New York - no tuition, open classes. Make sure that the students sign up for classes. Our classes will consist of online discussions of social and political issues of interest to students. We are graded on participation, pass / fail. Therefore, the rules on copyright change - we can print excerpts from anything as long as it has an “educational purpose.”
Sort of like the “redeeming social importance” rule embraced in the 1960s concerning certain other printed material.
I’ll be the first student to sign up. Our classroom discussions, moderated by Prof. Jim Robinson, will illuminate our understanding of American culture.
BTTT - refresher
