One more lawsuit to mention.
In 1999 Leboeuf Lamb settled out of court with four publishers and purchased
a license from the Copyright Clearance Center
[http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0FWE/is_5_6/ai_85880884]. That was
a widely known settlement since CCC used it to sell licenses after the fact
until Bob Oakley, AALL President in 2000, sent a letter to CCC voicing
concern over their marketing practices
[http://www.aallnet.org/aallwash/lt04042000.html].
<http://www.aallnet.org/aallwash/lt04042000.html> The harassment (I mean
marketing) slowed down at that point.
Today, CCC has a better approach then in the past.

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..

A law firm was sued several years ago for violating copyright law when they
copied publications they bought and lost - it might have been an engineering
firm. I am at a different law firm so I don't have access to the information
now but I need it. Does anyone remember this case?
