I’m not saying it’s “legal”, it’s certainly not. I’m just saying there is some framework in the law that allows for certain kinds of use beyond non educational uses.
That people know it’s obviously illegal, that a university redistributing information freely, is part of the problem. People should be much more biased in favor of less copyright law.
@dragonfly4933 Universities won’t run illegal-file sharing systems, because they are illegal. End of story. I’m sure they exist at universities, but not by universities. Whether copyright law should be weaker is irrelevant to the question of whether universities operate illegal-file sharing servers.
