Fair Use on Campus?
INDIANAPOLIS — Five major publishers filed a federal lawsuit here Monday against a copy shop in Bloomington, home to Indiana University, contending that the business and its owners have flouted copyright laws and stolen from authors and publishers by illegally duplicating articles and book excerpts for course materials.
The Indianapolis suit alleges that Collegiate Copies engaged in routine and systematic reproductions of copyrighted material without first seeking permission to reproduce it in course packs.
