What's Happening with the GSU Copyright Lawsuit?

Abstract

Cambridge Univ. Pr., et al v. Patton/Becker, a.k.a. the Georgia State Copyright Lawsuit commenced in 2011. Since then, it has been decided at the District Court (the trial court), reversed and remanded by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, and re-decided by the District Court. What have these courts said about the unlicensed use of copyrighted material in e-reserves? Who does it effect? What is the current status, and what does it mean for e-reserves and the use of copyrighted material in instruction? This presentation will address these questions, and give an up-to-the-minute report on the current status of the lawsuit.
