Two Canadian universities sign outrageous email copyright monitoring contract

http://j.mp/xI7Pry  (Caut Bulletin)

   "The universities of Western Ontario and Toronto have signed a deal
    with Access Copyright that allows for surveillance of faculty
    correspondence, unjustified restriction to copyrighted works and two
    million dollars in fees that will be passed along to students.  The
    agreement reached last month with the licensing agency includes
    provisions defining e-mailing hyperlinks as equivalent to photocopying
    a document, an annual $27.50 fee for every full-time equivalent
    student and surveillance of academic staff email."
