I'd love to. I'm just not quite sure where lecture notes stand, legally speaking.
If I send the files to just a few people I theoretically know, I guess it's like lending a book to a friend. But putting them all up for public download feels like quite a different matter.
Thoughts?
- mindcrime 13y agoI'm not really sure. I've always tended to assume that if you wrote notes, paraphrasing content that you sat through a lecture on, then you own the copyright on those notes. But I do think I recall at least one case where a professor or a university tried to stop a student from distributing notes, but I don't remember the details... Here's a couple of articles on the topic: http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2008/04/prof-sues-note/ http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2008/04/prof-sues-note/ http://blogs.kqed.org/mindshift/2012/02/do-students-have-copyright-to-their-own-notes/ http://blogs.kqed.org/mindshift/2012/02/do-students-have-cop... http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2008/04/aclass-of-copyright-thieves-a-lawsuit-over-lecture-notes/ http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2008/04/aclass-of-copyrig... Unfortunately, IANAL.
