Patton et al., 1:2008cv01425, is an ongoing case in the Northern District of Georgia in which three publishers, Cambridge University Press, SAGE Publications, and Oxford University Press, are suing Georgia State University for copyright infringement. The plaintiffs claim that Georgia State engages in "systematic, widespread and unauthorized copying and distribution of a vast amount of copyrighted works" through its e-reserves system. Georgia State asserts that its system does not infringe copyright because it falls under copyright`s fair use doctrine. The court has found that the defendants` use of copyrighted material in e-reserves does not constitute direct or vicarious infringement, but the claim of contributory infringement remains. The district court issued a 350-page findings of fact and conclusions of law on May 11, 2012.
