Hillarity alert
From The Daily Cal. Copy shops and university professors disagree about who has liability for copyright issues that may come up when making readers.
University Copy, in particular, has the professors sign a waiver that says that they accept responsibility for securing copyright permissions.
UC Berkeley law professor Mark Lemley said because UC Berkeley is a state government agency, it is immune from lawsuits in federal court for damages for copyright infringement.
And this response is classic.
University Copy manager Patrick Fay said he was not concerned with what UC Berkeley law professors have to say on the matter.
“He might be a law professor, but that waiver was written by lawyers,” he said. “Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach.”
Oh, no! But I have to be interviewed by newspapers and such because I'm a law professor, and really, really important. Really!
