http://blogs.library.duke.edu/scholcomm/2011/05/13/a-nightmare-scenario-for-h... This does sound like a nightmare scenario. If I understand the details, professors at Georgia State were sharing an amount of copyrighted material that exceeded (probably far exceeded) what was allowed under fair use. Complicating that matter is that fair use is extended to the institution, not just individuals, so 10 professors each sharing a different chapter of the same 10-chapter book are violating copyright. If this injunction is granted, university-wide monitoring systems will have to be in place so copyright holders can monitor how every bit of copyrighted information is being used and reproduced. And because state institutions can't be sued by the federal government, lawsuits are happening at the individual level in this case, including the university president, provost, and librarians. More information about the case is at http://chronicle.com/article/Whats-at-Stake-in-the-Georgia/127718/ and http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/columns-and-blogs/soapbox/article.... It does not appear that the case has yet been decided.
