Yeah, it's a definite copyright issue by the present definition of copyright... Of course, in the context of an institution of education, I'd have serious problems with a professor claiming that there is a copyright issue. If that's the case, the students have a license because they paid tuition - but since they don't pay tuition to the professor, the educational institution would have to have a copyright agreement with the professor. Otherwise, the professor seems to be talking into the wind. Of course, I am not a lawyer... but it seems to me that this is just an exercise in futility (again) of adapting a draconian legal system (again) based on print publication to a system that used to be open.... I guess college students could be sued, why not? The RIAA can go after kids, so the precedent has been set.
