I think it may have been the Texaco case - engineers routed the same
subscription by copies rather than individual subscriptions - it was a
journal (Elsevier I *think) - Texaco was definitely the defendent.
The, issue was fair use if I recall. Texaco believing it had fair use since
they bought a subscription - they lost.
Another case I recall was BNA vs. a law firm (Washington I think) - for
copying one of their Weekly pubs.
& distributing to firm attys.
Texaco was the landmark however & after that, firms backed off w/ newsletter
copying. BNA started offering multiple options on the summary portion of
their weeklys to purchase w/ the main subscription..
