“Long-Awaited Ruling in Copyright Case Mostly Favors Georgia State U.”

May 16, 2012

A federal judge handed down a ruling in a closely watched case that pitted three scholarly publishers against Georgia State University. The plaintiffs argued that the university went too far in allowing professors to post unlicensed copyrighted material online for students; GSU defended its policy as fair use in an educational setting. The judge mostly agreed with the university. Library and fair-use advocates worried, though, that her ruling draws a too-bright line on fair use.
