UBC copyright update

By Glenn Drexhage on August 10, 2011

Developments regarding UBC and copyright are featured in a blog from The Tyee, an online publication and The Ubyssey, UBC’s student newspaper.

“The University of British Columbia has decided to opt-out of Access Copyright’s proposed tariff on copyrighted materials that generally make up student course packs, to avoid increased fees and restrictions that would begin Sept. 1, 2011.” Read more on The Tyee online, “UBC rejects million dollar increase in copyright fees,” by Carrie Swiggum. 

“The university stated they found the increased cost, as well as the surveillance of copying activities undertaken by their faculty, staff and students by Access Copyright, to be unacceptable.” Read more on The Ubyssey online, “Campus copyright laws to change,” by Sarah-Nelle Jackson.
