The Delhi University Copyright case
by Subbiah Arunachalam 18 Mar '17

18 Mar '17

*Breaking News: OUP and other Publishers Withdraw Copyright Suit Against Delhi University and Photocopier* by Shamnad Basheer <https://spicyip.com/author/shamnad-basheer> March 9, 2017 <https://spicyip.com/2017/03/breaking-news-oup-and-other-publishers-withdraw…> In a stunning development, OUP, CUP and Taylor & Francis just withdrew their copyright law suit <https://spicyip.com/tag/d-u-photocopy-case>filed against Delhi University (and its photocopier, Rameshwari) 5 years ago! They indicated this to the Delhi high court in a short and succinct filing made this morning. This withdrawal brings to an end one of the most hotly contested IP battles ever, pitting as it did multinational publishers against academics and students. The law suit was filed as far back as 2012 and it dragged on for 5 long years! For those interested, a brief timeline of the dispute is as below: 1. Leading publishers sue Delhi University (DU) and Rameshwari for copyright infringement in 2012. Alleging that the creation and distribution of course packs containing excerpted copyright content violates copyrights in several of their books. 2. Delhi high court immediately grants interim injunction in favour of publishers, preventing DU and Rameshwari from photocopying and creating/distributing course-packs. 3. A society of students (ASEAK) and academics (SPEAK) intervene in the dispute and are heard by the court. 4. The Delhi high court hears the main matter on merits and rules in favour of DU and students, holding that the photocopying for the purpose of creating educational course packs falls within the bounds of the educational exception in the indian copyright act (section 52(1)(i)). 5. Publishers appeal to the division bench of the Delhi high court. While taking issue with some of the findings of the trial judge, the division bench nonetheless upholds the ultimate finding that the photocopying is covered under the terms of the educational exception contained in section 52(1)(i) of India’s Copyright Act. The court however rules that each instance of photocopying has to be tested individually against the terms of section 52(1)(i) which mandates that copying has to be “in the course of educational instruction”. 6. Therefore, the Delhi Division bench remands the matter back to the single judge of delhi (trial court) to decide whether each of the alleged instances of copyright fell within the bounds of the educational exceptional or not 7. IRRO (a collecting society of publishers) files an application to be impleaded in the Delhi trial court. Court refuses and the IRRO appeals to the division bench 8. Publishers file an application this morning asking that suit be withdrawn. So those of you expecting some fireworks at the Supreme Court, this is it! End of an era. End of a saga. But one that ultimately tested the bounds of copyright law in India. And clarified that while educational photocopying is permissible, there are limits to this as well. And that any copying must comport closely with the intended purpose (“in the course of instruction”). In that sense, publishers have made some gains in at least ensuring that a complete free for all regime is not what is intended by the law. But a circumspect one, where the copying has to fall within the bounds of the educational exception. Overall, this is a huge victory for educational access and public interest in India. And very welcome in a world that was witnessing a rather one sided ratcheting up of IP norms, at the cost of all else! One hopes that the coming years will see a more progressive partnership between publishers and academics/students and the embracing of newer models of creation and content distribution, open access and the like. ps: For those interested, all our posts on this case can be found here <https://spicyip.com/tag/d-u-photocopy-case>. -- Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

WE STOLE/COPY THE THINGS BUT DID NOT WISH TO EXPOSE THE TRUTH
by vinod mishra 17 Mar '17

17 Mar '17

Dear All, Many of the policy makers did not favor open access of ETD or other resources, in my view one of the major reason for the same is the case mentioned in the linked article below. I would like to know any other reason for the same from other intellectual fraternity who did not supports the open access. One of the reason is they wish to make the same articles 2/3 by replicating the things with little modifications and may be some other good reasons about which i am not aware. https://journosdiary.com/2017/03/16/plagiarism-iiser-thiruvananthapuram/ With Regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Assistant Librarian, Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL), NIT Rourkela, Sundergadh-769008, Odisha, India.

Thanks Mr. Eldho Joy for the positive remarks. You are correct in saying "the relevance of indexing is going up these days especially due to the information overload related problems." Many of the developments in indexing techniques are incorporated in the technology of search engines like Google. More information on related topics will appear in the Librarianship Studies <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com> in coming days.

Curated OA LIS Research
by Subbiah Arunachalam 16 Mar '17

16 Mar '17

From Prof. Peter Suber Coming Soon: The Idealis – A Portal for Finding Curated OA LIS Research – IO: In The Open <https://intheopen.net/2017/03/coming-soon-the-idealis-a-portal-for-finding-…> Posted: 15 Mar 2017 08:09 AM PDT "On March 15, founding editors Stacy Konkiel and Lily Troia, both of Altmetric, and Nicky Agate of the Modern Language Association, will officially launch The Idealis <https://theidealis.org/>, a portal for connecting to curated open access library and information science scholarship. Operating on the WordPress plugin Press Forward, The Idealis will include annotated lists of open access scholarship written by, for, or of interest to information professionals. Curation will be done by volunteer editors with expertise in the field. Each editor will serve on two-week rotations during which they will nominate pieces for inclusion in The Idealis platform using the Press Forward plugin. Initially, the collection will consist entirely of works focused on scholarly communication, but the hope is that The Idealis will soon grow to include scholarly work from a wide-range of library interests, including critical librarianship, public librarianship, school librarianship, and more. The aims of The Idealis are simple: to help connect library and information science scholars to high-quality, open access work in and connected to their field. To this end, the founding editors take a broad view of “scholarship” and encourage the inclusion of works that may not otherwise receive a lot of attention but are nevertheless important to the advancement of the field. These could include blog posts, presentation notes, infographics, and other forms of alternative or 'grey' literature. Keep a look-out for the official launch of The Idealis on *March 15* and spread the word. Also, if you are interested in serving a two-week term as a general editor, feel free to fill out the information form <http://theidealis.org/apply-editor/>. In the words of founding editors, Stacy, Lily, and Nicky, 'You don’t have to be an idealis(t) to imagine a better future for library-related research. Let’s start building that future today.'" -- Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
