Princeton
University Press v. Michigan Document Services Opinion Excerpt (summary): "The plaintiffs, Princeton University Press, Macmillan, Inc., and St. Martin's Press, Inc., brought a copyright infringement action against the defendants, Michigan Document Services, Inc. and James M. Smith, president of MDS. The suit alleges that the defendants infringed copyrights held by the plaintiffs when MDS made multiple copies of excerpts from various materials provided by University of Michigan professors, compiled these copies into "coursepacks," and sold the coursepacks to students for a profit. The district court granted summary judgment to the plaintiffs, found that the defendants' infringement was "willful," and issued an injunction against the defendants. The defendants appeal the district court's decision, defending their copying practices primarily on the ground that the coursepacks are a "fair use" of the copyrighted works and therefore not an infringement. We agree with the defendants that their use is a "fair use" as defined in the Copyright Act of 1976, 17 U.S.C. ยค 107, and reverse." |
