Ours is a regional university serving 12 countries of the South Pacific, some of which are amongst the poorest on earth. Some 2/3 of our students study by distance education and we go to great pains to construct teaching packages which can be delivered to people on remote atolls and islands. In putting together a course on Children's Literature, we asked a great variety of commercial publishers to wave copyright restrictions in order to produce facsimile portions of their texts. Of all those we approached, only one flatly refused permission--Walt Disney. Andrew Horn Head of the Department of Literature and Language University of the South Pacific Suva FIJI
