Parker, You probably know this, but the recent Georgia State University lawsuit involved the university copyright policy (which changed during the suit).
Here is some extra info on the suit: Here is a podcast explaining the suit http://www.educause.edu/Resources/TheGeorgiaStateCopyrightCaseIs/234947 and if you prefer to skim something written here is a summary http://blogs.library.duke.edu/scholcomm/2011/08/03/licenses-prices-fair-use-and-gsu/. The docket is here http://dockets.justia.com/docket/georgia/gandce/1:2008cv01425/150651/ (but, without Pacer, I can't be sure it's current). -Wilhelmina On Sat, Dec 10, 2011 at 9:27 PM, Parker Higgins <[email protected]>wrote: > Hey guys, > > I'm writing an article about copyright laws and education (I know), and I > would like to make a claim that has been related to me anecdotally by some > of the professors I've worked with.
