ATLANTA — Lawyers on both sides have been able to find little common ground in a Georgia case that could determine how the 1976 federal copyright law governs university libraries’ authority to post course materials online.
Plaintiff publishers have sued Georgia State University, alleging that it has routinely infringed copyrights of thousands of copyrighted works assigned in hundreds of GSU courses. In place of damages, the plaintiffs have sought an admission from GSU that it has engaged in copyright infringment, a revision to the school’s copyright policies to limit how much of a work used in a course can be posted online without compensating the publisher or the author, and assurances that any new policy would be enforced and publishers adequately compensated.
