postheadericon Obama Administration Considers Joining Publishers In Fight To Stamp Out Fair Use At Universities

Well, it's really unfortunate. In 2011, he wrote on a copyright case involving three major publishers continue Georgia State University for daring to have "reserves" e-enabling teachers to make certain jobs available to students electronically the university library.
