Training institutes warned on copyright

Three private training institutions have been warned for allegedly breaching print copyright. Auckland Goldstar Institute, Prime International College and Sheffield Language School - all based in Auckland - have received letters from lawyers acting for New Zealand's print copyright watchdog,

Copyright Licensing Ltd (CLL), alleging copyright infringement.

CLL said the schools were found to be copying extensive extracts from one or more of English language textbooks published by Cambridge University Press, Peter Collin Publishers, Pearson Education (NZ) and Pearson Education (UK) and on-selling them to students. Both actions are illegal without an appropriate licence.
