A two-year-old copyright suit against the UnCover document delivery operation has been won by a group of authors in California. The court ruled that, before using material to fill requests from customers, UnCover must secure copyright permission from and pay royalties directly to the author. In the past, UnCover have relied on the original publisher to compensate the author. UnCover have agreed to set up licensing agreements with authors for semi-annual payments.
