[IRTalk] Fwd: Measures to control the spread of COVID-19

Tue Apr 7 09:02:10 SAST 2020

Dear All,

This DALRO letter seems to be misleading. It creates an impression that DALRO & PASA are making an offer to libraries to upload the content to trusted LMS for free for a limited period to assist with learning off-campus. In actual fact, when you apply to do precisely that, you are then given a quotation. Why the double-dipping? Since we have already paid for the resources, and some institution has already paid to the reproduction of course packs, and now we are expected to pay when we want to upload the same content that we have paid for in our LMS.

Maybe its time that we put pressure on the President to sign the Copyright Amendment Act. This is getting out of control with these companies taking advantage of the situation.

I think this is just plain exploitation of public institution during this difficult time, and maybe we also need to report this to the relevant government department
