I would love to have been a fly on the wall listening to exactly what was said, and who said it, as the University of Toronto and Waterloo decided to buckle under pressure and sign the Access Copyright deal. "These two universities threw in the towel prematurely on the copyright battle," said Turk. "We call on other post-secondary institutions not to follow their example of capitulating to Access Copyright. It’s time to stand up for the right to fair and reasonable access to copyrighted works for educational purposes." See also CAUT's backgrounder on the Access Copyright disagreement. Via @courosa
