It is a legitimate point. I am very happy to frame it as my own question: do we have any definition of 'intentionally'? The legislation says it only covers news content that's made 'intentionally' available. Now, I'm assuming that means that if I copy and paste a news article then there's no way of tracking the outcomes and the revenue streams. Or does it also mean that, if I tweet something and I get people to share it and it all goes back to a particular news article, I can't artificially drive up the revenue streams? What does 'intentionally' mean?
