John Palfrey, Wendy Seltzer and Angela Kang have an op-ed in the Harvard Crimson about the Harvard bookstore's kicking a student out for recording the price of six books. The bookstore claimed that that information is protected by copyright, a wrong and frivolous attempt to extend copyright to cover, well, everything. Posted

I read this, and it's perhaps the silliest thing I've heard of in awhile. It's yet another example of the scam that student bookstores have had going for awhile - now with sites like Alibris (where I work, he said with a caveat), students have more options and it's terrifying Harvard and other bookstores into a stupor where they try to get away with stuff like this.
Can't fight change!
FYI, great, great speech at shop.org, I really enjoyed it.

Right on. I'm glad you picked up on this. Kudos to those students for collecting the information. I could see Berkman's H20 project become a repository too, where there could be value added to the core price-comparison angle.
I did a blog post about it, and the larger issue of IP and the unique identifier:
