Ariel Katz reports that the University of Toronto has notified Access Copyright that it will not extend the current licence agreement. It points to a range of factors – the SCC decisions, copyright reform, and open access among them – to argue that there should be substantial reductions in the royalty rate. The university is open to negotiating a new agreement with that in mind. Meanwhile, Western is adopting much the same position, notifying Access Copyright that it will not be renewing but leaving the door open to a new agreement with reduced fees.
