Absolutely. That money should be used for the licences. You have to understand that the universities are spending much more than those licences would cost them. As I said, it's 0.1% of their annual budget. They can easily absorb the cost of licences, there is no doubt of that.
Also, statutory damages are imposed for counterfitting. That is an amount of $5,000 for all uses and all authors and creators. We are blocked at a certain level on that as well in that we cannot even recover costs. It is of no interest to launch court proceedings.
That is why we chose class action. However, that option was not possible everywhere. In Quebec, there is a way of doing that but it is not automatically used in other provinces. That creates a real concern.
In fact, our recourses with universities are very limited. This means that they have all leeway, once again, to do whatever they like.
