I'm very interested to see how that case, and others like the one in the post above turn out.

There was a case here in Australia about 17 years ago where the Victoria University of Technology (now known as Victoria University) was taken to court for the exact same issues. They were proiducing course booklets of reccomended readings, never more that one chapter of a book. The university won the case and it is now standard practice to produce such course booklets.
