Warning: A Copyright Policy Isn’t Enough!
Does having copyright guidelines in place make your parent organization less vulnerable to a lawsuit? Apparently not, as Cornell learned.
For many years, Cornell had copyright guidelines posted and an active electronic reserves service. Cornell also had no less than three university policies that addressed copyright infringement issues, including Responsible Use of Electronic Communications, Code of Academic Integrity and Code of Conduct. In spite of this evidence of the administration’s support for the protection of intellectual property, the AAP felt compelled to question Cornell about its digital distribution practices.
