[Linganth] My fair use Kickstarter iniative

[Charles Briggs]

Dear Tim,
It seems that linguistic anthropologists are increasingly turning to 
Kickstarter to launch initiatives surrounding issues of language and 
social justice.
Here is mine, aimed at /The New York Times/ and defending fair use 
policies against language ideologies that define journalism and academic 
communication as thoroughly commodified private property.

Best,
Charles
