The url was cut in two by the line wrap; that may have been the cause of your "Page cannot be found" error.

Here is a shortened url:

In short, several publishers (Oxford, Cambridge, and SAGE) are suing Georgia State University for copyright infringement.  The university has been providing digital articles through coursepacks without obtaining authorization, according to the publishers.

It reminds me quite a bit of the Kinko's lawsuit, and will possibly help to define what is and isn't permitted when working with electronic articles.  We shall see...

I keep getting "Page cannot be found" messages from this, and the several permutations of it I thought might be helpful.  Can you either correct if or tell us what it is?

Thanks,

Apologies for cross-listing...I ran across this on a state listserv.

I guess this was bound to happen at some time.
