We're getting far afield from where this started. NAS and NSTA have developed a set of standards that they publish. This is their work. They allow other states to use that work in developing their curriculum. They are refusing to allow Kansas to copy their work because they see Kansas as having adopted something that fundamentally disagrees with their standards.

I find what Disney does insulting because they do things like ban the mouse from daycare centers, they are protecting a financial interest in an area where they make no provision, and that seems to be a bad practice. Diebold used their usage to stifle criticism. That's obviously wrong. NSA and NSTA are using copyright law to stop their work from being used where the governing body has adopted standards that have a fundamental opposition to their standards.

I don't have an issue with what they have done and I think Granick is wrong. This is exactly what the law was designed for, not the financial gain of Disney nor the censorship of Diebold. NAS and NSTA are saying, "You want to do this? Then you need to do this part without our help." This isn't anything like the other cases. If Kansas wants to work within fair use and write their own standards, I don't see where NAS or NSTA is blocking that, Kansas wanted to simply copy their whole thing. Because Kansas also adopted something into science that isn't science, NAS and NSTA said no. That's not ideology, that's science.
