Do you consider requests for S.O.Ps to be a legitimate use of F.O.I. I am of the opinion that S.O.Ps can be construed as the intellectual property of the institution where they were produced. They have intrinsic value requiring time and resources in their production. Their preparation is based on expert knowledge and experience.
Surely F.O.I legislation was not passed to facilitate plagiarism or piracy?
