17. © COPYRIGHT THIS! … many educators apparently don’t understand certain basic copyright matters. They, and their advisors, are so enamoured of the notion of “respect for copyright” that they seem ready to pay Access Copyright - the reprography and wannabe electronic rights collective - just about whatever Access Copyright asks. Oh - they may say the rates are too high - but they still pay and there has never yet been a fully fought confrontation with Access Copyright over the rates, terms and conditions of licensing at the K-12 or post secondary level in Canada. A challenge is in the works at the Copyright Board and taxpayers can only hope that Access Copyright ends up with only a very small percentage of the $12 per student per year that is seeking.
