Please sign the online petition against the move byOxford University Press, Cambridge University Press and Taylor & Francis for filing a petition in Delhi Delhi High Court claiming copyright infringement by Rameshwari Photocopy Services along with Delhi University as a co-defendant. https://www.change.org/en-IN/petitions/academics-appeal-to-publishers-to-wit... ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
