From: Sandy Thatcher <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thu, 18 Apr 2013 20:38:13 -0500 Well, the first of these is the GSU case. The second concerns streaming video, not books or journals. The third is a suit in India, not the U.S. or Canada. Access Canada is not a publisher. So, let me rephrase: can you think of a case in the U.S. or Canada where a PUBLISHER of books/journals has sued a university since 1983, except for GSU? P.S. The 1983 case did involve NYU as plaintiff, as well as 9 faculty members and a local copyshop. It resulted in a consent decree. > From: Laura Quilter <[log in to unmask]> > Date: Wed, 17 Apr 2013 21:50:16 -0400 > > Well, these: > > * Cambridge Univ Pr v.
