The Conference of Rectors of Spanish Universities (CRUE) has expressed his displeasure and concern about lawsuits filed by the private entity "Cedar" against universities Carlos III of Madrid and Barcelona Autonomous claim copyright.
The CRUE indicated in a statement that "We have repeatedly asked this private association the listing of authors whose rights and the management says it intends to charge a fee of five dollars per student, set unilaterally by her, and despite numerous requests has not provided any information about it. "
This representative body of Spanish universities also notes that "we deeply regret that" Cedar "use both lawsuits as his leaked to the media as leverage to 'sit down and negotiate', as declared in some media."
The CRUE indicates that Spanish universities pay more than € 130 million a year in electronic resources and have more than one hundred thousand authors, "a very superior to that private entity states it represents."
