I just knew this was going to happen.
Here's a software tech company, Arizona-based Proctorio, suing a UBC employee for copyright and confidentiality infringement.
The company claims that Linkletter breached confidentiality and copyright by posting on Twitter links to seven videos meant only for administrators and instructors.

There's more to this lawsuit, but here's the STUPID part; the videos were posted on YouTube!
What were they thinking?
How can they possibly think of suing for breach of confidentiality when they posted their own videos in a totally public arena that invites open sharing with friends?
I'm just waiting for someone in our industry to post a mechanical video solution to YouTube and getting upset when it gets shared with DIYs, not the professional audiences they were aiming for.
When that happens, we can all let them know there is ASBN.ca, where they can be sure only logged-in members, can view them.
Professionals for professionals.
