Page 83: Saoim ebooks

Context

• Information and Knowledge-based economy• Globalization• There is an education economy• Stress on core markets (US)• Changing knowledge about current crop of

states/provinces/nations)

Page 86: Saoim ebooks

The BASICS

• Containers for Pedagogy• Created by Teams (e.g. 40,000 authors a year for

Cengage alone) (yes that’s a lot of lawyers)• Copyright and complicated layering of millions of

rights (creators - pictures, graphics, video, tests, text, documents, etc.)

• Serious Lawsuits: Feist, Texaco, LSUC, Tasini, NatGeo, Authors Guild, jStor, GBS, etc.

Page 93: Saoim ebooks
