Public Sticky notes
Those notes are illegal, Faulkner and Moulton contend, since they are derivative works of the professor's copyrighted lectures.
If successful, the suit
(.pdf) could put an end to a lucrative, but ethically murky businesses
that have grown up around large universities to profit from students
who don't always want to go to the classes they are paying for.
The suit could also have ramifications for more longstanding businesses such as Cliffs Notes, which summarize copyrighted novels.
