RE: Supreme Court Ruling--Copyright--New York Times v. Tasini

[John Webb <jwebb@wsu.edu>]

We used to load both the indexes and full-text of ABI/Inform and one other
UMI database.  UMI regularly sent us notices to remove articles or whole
titles to which it did not have the rights or had lost the rights.  Even
on a small scale, deleting articles from databases takes time and
therefore has a cost.
