Alex, what does the [*866] means ?

I am quite surprised by the closing of the case, not so much because the teacher was using it for educational purpose (which the original author probably also was, meaning the copies implied a loss of money for him), but rather because the teacher asked the students to buy the book.

My memories is that when we were required to buy a book, it was checked we did so (hence, no money loss for the original author). I also have memories of whole chapters of other non-mandatory book given to us as copies.

Did the defendant tried to evoke fair use ?

The [*866] is the page number of the original printed version, they put this in digital copies so that lawyers who need to cite cases in legal briefs and memorandums. This case is interesting because it comes to an extreme conclusion. Yes, it is a fair use defense case (fair use is always a defense). Would all judges follow this today? I doubt it, but it does show that fair use can be a mindfield for the unprepared. Alex756 17:54, 21 Sep 2003 (UTC)
