"When faced with these sorts of situations, administrators will likely enact policies to shield their universities from liability, even if those policies don’t take advantage of the fair use exceptions to copyright provided to educators. In spite of the law’s current explicit protection for “multiple copies for classroom use,” many universities currently pay blanket licensing fees to the non-profit company Copyright Clearance Center in an attempt to stave off potential liability. And it’s understandable why the universities pay: the Center is now partially financing a 2008 lawsuit filed by an academic publisher against Georgia State University, which did not pay for such a license."

Isn't that extortion? Georgia State didn't cough up their "protection" money. Time to smash the windows...
