Did you know... that after Texaco accused the academic publishers suing it for copyright infringement of profiteering, the judge called it "an odd argument ... to be made by an oil company"?

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to cite this article to reliable secondary sources, rather than original legal documents/university course notes? There seems to be some coverage in published books (otherwise I would have nom'd this for deletion). Sionk (talk) 09:24, 8 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Yes, do please feel free to add additional sources. I'll work on it more today, as well. --Lquilter (talk) 12:50, 8 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
FYI: If by "university course notes" you mean Georgia Harper's "Copyright Crash Course" -- despite the name, that's not really a university course; rather, it's an online mini-treatise about copyright in the educational context, by one of the leading practitioners in the field. It's a highly stable and highly cited resource and is completely appropriate to cite, which is no doubt why it was included in the original article from which I pulled this text (in the American Geophysical Union article). --Lquilter (talk) 17:17, 8 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
