I doubt that the communities in question are likely to have the same legal resources available to them as The Coca-Cola Company, so I must admit I don’t find this argument entirely convincing. Asking them to share their content, but then leaving them alone in the face of any problems arising from it, sounds more like reinforcing the status quo than promoting knowledge equity to me. And note that the law may not be written in their favor in the first place, so suggesting them to “secure their concerns in a legal way” may require a lengthy legislative process first, with uncertain outcome.
(I must admit that I haven’t yet read the articles linked in the draft, so this email is phrased rather vaguely. I hope it still makes sense.)
