As a rider to this I suppose we could ask how in the U.S. one state's laws are applied in another state. -------------------------- Malcolm Taggart [log in to unmask] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Fowler C.A." <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Tuesday, March 25, 2003 11:58 AM Subject: Gale Licence agreement I've recently attended the excellent CILIP course on licencing issues and this has effectively opened my eyes to the content of some of the licences that I have been happily signing in the past. I have a Gale Group Licence Agreement on my desk and two elements have caught my eye. The Agreement is governed by US Copyright law and CONTU Guidelines. Secondly, the agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Michigan. The advice from the CHLIP course (and I paraphrase) was to check that contracts covering a resource delivered in England, are governed by English Law and by English Copyright. How have other people dealt with this sort of issue? I am going to check this with the University's legal department but I would be interested to know whether anyone else has picked up on this.
