Re: Copyright infringement class action by CopIbec against the University of Laval
via @kimnayyer @InbaKehoe
Since 2014, legal action has been taking place – in the form of a class action suit brought forth by Copibec, Quebec’s non-profit copyright collective, against Laval University. At issue is Laval’s choice not to renew a license agreement with Copibec, or pay tariffs, for educational use of copyrighted materials.
Some history on the case, Via Howard Knopf at Excess Copyright Nov. 17, 2014
This case has made its way through the court of appeal, and parties have reached a settlement, available on Copibec’s website. Amounts owing are in the range of $2M.
