Photocopying for college student ââ?¬Ë?coursepacks’ draws copyright suit

Six publishers filed a lawsuit Wednesday in federal court against the owner of a copy shop near the University of Florida in Gainesville who they say is photocopying and selling copyrighted material without paying royalties or getting permission. It’s the latest in a series of lawsuits in which publishers are cracking down on copyright infringements involving student ââ?¬Å?coursepacks,ââ?¬Â a multimillion-dollar industry in which journal articles, case studies or other readings for a college course are compiled and photocopied for use in class.
