US colleges cut deal on digital fair use
Kim Thomas
In a move to tackle copyright breaches by universities, the Association of American Publishers (AAP) has agreed guidelines on the use of digital content with the US universities of Hofstra, Syracuse and Marquette.
The guidelines recognise that content delivered to students in digital formats should be treated on the basis of the same copyright principles that apply to printed materials.
Allan Adler, vice president for legal and government affairs at the AAP, said the misuse of digital materials at universities had been causing concern for some time. Whereas universities were clear about copyright for printed materials, he said they were often flouting copyright by making materials available to students electronically on library servers or learning platforms.
Adler said that when the AAP researched the issue, it found widespread breaches of copyright.
