College copy shop sued for copyright infringement

HarperCollins Publishers, Pearson Education, Princeton University Press, Sage Publications, and John Wiley & Sons are suing Collegiate Copies of Bloomington, Indiana, for not securing copyright permission before making course packs. The Copyright Clearance Center is coordinating the lawsuit.

In related news, the Copyright Clearance Center just settled a similar lawsuit in Florida.

I guess Collegiate Copies hasn’t heard about similar cases among their competition.
