Subject: RE: Copyright lawsuit - Another
This story (linked below) might be a really useful anecdote if you're
trying to get the point across to your patrons. $300,000 settlement for
distributing copied articles to new employees but the kicker is than an
anonymous tipster was awarded $6,000 for blowing the whistle. Tell them
that even if you're doing this on a small scale in-house basis, there
could be people watching who would benefit financially from dropping
dime on an abusing employer .

Subject: RE: Copyright lawsuit
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.

Subject: Re: Copyright lawsuit
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..

Subject: Copyright lawsuit
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?
