Meanwhile, students at a high school in McLean, Va., are trying to bring down Turnitin by suing its parent company, iParadigms, for alleged copyright infringement. To file such a lawsuit, a writer has to pay $45 to register a copyright, be it for a Pulitzer prizewinning novel or a ninth-grader's meanderings on Animal Farm, and the penalty per copyright violation can be as much as $150,000.

The old copyright-business models are inefficient ways to give artists incentives in the new digital environment...

Noank does this by serving as an aggregator, collecting payment through institutions such as libraries and schools, as well as Internet Service Providers. Forward-thinking copyright holders recognize that this system may offer them more rewards, not less control...
