At my school, a prominent university in the Northeast, professors and preceptors have been quite adamant about finding and stopping those who put notes on sites like www.study24-7.com and www.versity.com.
In October, I was cornered by the preceptor and told that he thought I was the one putting the notes for our class on versity.com (I was not). What followed was a lengthy discussion with the professor, preceptor, department chair, and an assistant dean. In the end, I was acquitted of their suspicions.
I don't understand what the difference between giving copies of my class notes to friends and posting them on the web. I guess this mass dissemination of information scares people.
I'm sure we will see a court case that might set a precedent for these types of things soon.
