How long before college professors do the same thing? Eight years ago college teachers didn’t want their lectures recorded because they owned the intellectual property. Will they take advantage of the “financial marketplace for ideas”?

Is there a legal issue with what is “work product” covered by a teaching contract? It will be interesting to see how it works itself out.
