Kinko’s ruling hikes course costs
By TONYA DF.CKSARIS
('jaUtpalr Tim\ Virginia Tech
IV»-« ause of a copyright infringement ruling against
kuikos (.raphrcs (i>rp,, some students and professors say
college communities will sutler from the effects tins fall.
the decision, which found Kinko’s guilts ol copyright
intringrment, will directly alien students and faculty at
more than 200 universities nationwide that rclv on
kmko s as a smut c for course niatetials.
John Semoiuhe, a history professor at the l of North
< arnltna. said, “You can't do what was dorse before and
that is to bring materials that are rrlcvent aiul ujHo-date
in a small class.’
He said because the new royalty is divided up among
the number of pai Kris for a partn ulu t lavs, each student
assumes a higher percentage ol tire cost. His class of 12

almost all aspects of |>arket preparation will t*c affected.
"Wr were disappointed with the judge's det iston," Foss
said "This will at id time, cost and complexity to getting
the* students the material thrv need to learn from, ktnko l
maintains thrv were putting together course packets lot
rduc ational use.*
Bui tlir Association of Amniian Publisliers argued in
Basic o kinko'% (Iraplm .* Corporation(hatthe company
was not exempt from obtaining copyright permission
under “fair use’ provisions outline!) in the I97ti
Copyright Act
Judith Platt, director of communications lor AAP, said,
"Kinko's w.o directly violating guidelines for classroom
iopvingth.it are ve rye trails spelled out in the law."
fedut ational use is allowed as a jxtrt of lair use, hut the
ceiurt ruled that Kinko's violated the purpose of the act by
selling the p.u kets for profit without publisher permission.
’kinko’s was creating new works with (varying
excetpts) that were being used in substitute for the
original work and then selling it, both without
permission,’ Plan said.
Other professors said despite the inconvenience of new
fees and earlier material submission dates, the ruling will
In- good lor those who deserve credit for theit work.
Steve Issacs, associate dean for academic affairs at
Columbia U. School of Journalism said, “As a person who
writes, it is imponant to get remittal for your work, and I
think the publishing agreement is a sensible wav to go."
The ruling, which applies to all ropy centers, is merely
an attempt to legitamurr educational photocopying,
a< cording to the AAP.
