Who would issue a C&D in this case?
- timf 15y agoSomeone asked him that on Twitter: "let me guess, one of the plagiarists claiming copyright infringement of their answers?" He replies: "You will laugh but yes. Claiming 'violation of privacy' and misappropriation of content generated with specific intent."
- Osiris 15y agoPerhaps it was TurnItIn, the product he used to identify the cheaters? I'm curious what the C&D letter claims was illegal about the content of the post; was it the screenshots of the application?
- bugsy 15y agoThe context suggests it is a copyright violation issue. Most of the excerpts were ones that were already plagiarized and reproducing them is fair use in the context. The only excerpt that wasn't was the student who lied about illness in his family in order to explain the cheating. If we assume that there is cause for the filing, it would have to be that student. It's a big assumption though, it could have also been some other party with no cause.
