Students Settle With TurnItIn In Copyright Case

Posted by Soulskill on from the nobody-wants-to-read-your-awful-papers dept.

An anonymous reader writes "With the deadline for a Supreme Court appeal rapidly approaching, the students who sued TurnItIn.com for issues surrounding copyright infringement reached a settlement with the site's company on Friday. Now the search goes out for any student who has a paper which is being held by TurnItIn that they did not upload themselves. If your teacher uploaded a paper and ran a TurnItIn report without your permission, I bet the students' attorney would like to hear from you."

    Unless you mean thesaurus ;-)
