As part of the settlement of a Canadian class action suit brought by Copibec, Quebec’s reprographic rights organization, against the Université Laval in Quebec, certain American authors are entitled to compensatory damages related to possible moral rights violations. To be eligible, the authors or their estates must have been identified in the university’s 2013-2014 user log entries, which have been provided to Authors Coalition of America (“ACA”). Please look for your name here: Copibec Author List.
If you find your name, visit the ACA website to learn how to collect your pro-rata share of the settlement funds. The payment eligibility deadline is June 10, 2020, so don’t delay. If you have any questions, contact Dorien Kelly, ACA Administrator, at dkelly@authorscoalition.org.
