The Globe and Mail reports that the University of Toronto has reached a $1M settlement with tutoring company Easy Group Inc, which the university sued for copyright infringement. In documents filed in court, U of T and three faculty members alleged that Easy Group was reproducing materials such as course outlines, lecture notes, and tests with answers without authorization. U of T Vice-Provost for Faculty and Academic Life Heather Boon explained that the settlement includes an injunction preventing the company from “making any further use of U of T course materials.” The case had been before the Federal Court of Canada since 2022.
