Speakers also don't have a right to be paid for their speech. Most "disinvitation" protests would be plain old counterspeech if the university isn't officially paying the speaker (probably ridiculous sums of money) to speak. If students have even the most minor amounts of control over where their (ridiculously high) tuitions are spent, I can't see that as a problem. I think this is particularly valid when students are protesting speakers who themselves have a habit of shouting down and locking out (on their home turf) speech with which they disagree.
I begin to wonder if, in cases where improper takedowns are filed due to not vetting the alleged infringement, it is because they are tired of again watching or listening to what they assume is the same old crap.
Nope. Everything on this page thus far, except you, is spot on about the US. And I'm sorry you feel so threatened by four year old Americans because they happened to step into Canada. (But then suggest someone from a foreign nation visit your state, without any concern they might steal your precious magical leaves.)
According to people who like to lump liberal, leftist, socialist, and Democrat into one category when it is convenient for them. With changing minute-by-minute definitions for any of the terms.
No, those would be the 14 sources that gave the information in the first place. How often do you ask someone, "hey, can you confirm saying that thing you just said?"
You realize that the targets of his behavior are also conservative, as is the network that suspended him over said behavior? Of course these are allegations, but clearly not a story invented from whole cloth.
You realize they embedded the actual filing, yes? General Manager's name is right there. But how is one to discover immediately who all wrote the policies, and which individuals were applying them to specific ads, and who, if anyone, had to approve the process for a particular ad?
Sure, there are humans involved, but they aren't always useful. (It may be arguable that particular people identified more often become scapegoats when there is an institutional policy and/or culture to blame.) And again, how is one to know which actual ones made a decision at this stage?
Silo'd streaming services not competing with the same content != a la carte. If you could have a fee based on which actual programming you want from a service, that would be a la carte.

They were construing things any way they damn well felt like then, as well. That usually seems to be somewhere between IP maximalism and "if I approve this it leaves my desk forever and therefore have a completed job to my credit". I sometimes wonder how there is not a lot of collision between these two driving forces, such as they would grant multiple patents for the same thing to different parties.

And no, it never did end, regardless of official bits of paper or no. Not sure why this is relevant, though.

It all sounds so reasonable until you actually think about the implications of the law.
It does?

The problem is that doing so is likely to require a certain amount of effort,
