Re: Clinical Emergency Clause



Julie,

Assuming there may be a bona fide situation where your scenario might
present itself - it would most certainly be a rarity - wouldn't
pay-per-view be a faster, fairer and more appropriate solution?  From the
publisher's point of view you're asking them to insert a trojan horse into
their definition of authorized users.  Barring an act of terrorism, a
self-declared "clinical emergency" should not be an excuse to waive rights
of access simply because the information happens to be available online to
authorized users.  I can't imagine how one could frame the argument to
make the terms of access conditional.
