Merger proposal

It seems a stub article was created in full name of the case. After Feb 2017 it did not get much edits beyond categorisation. Full name article is The Chancellor, Masters & Scholars of the University of Oxford & Others v. Rameshwari Photocopy Services & Others (DU Photocopy Case)

1) For one full name of the case too long and defficult to search since it begins with 'The' 2) There can be many other cases where in Chancellor, Masters & Scholars of the University of Oxford and Delhi university will be involved but name of Rameshwari Photocopy Service shop copyright case likely to remain more unique. 3) The full name article can always be redirected to Rameshwari Photocopy Service shop copyright case article.

Hence I do suggest we do merge The Chancellor, Masters & Scholars of the University of Oxford & Others v. Rameshwari Photocopy Services & Others (DU Photocopy Case) be merged in and redirected to Rameshwari Photocopy Service shop copyright case article.

The Chancellor, Masters & Scholars of the University of Oxford & Ors. v. Rameshwari Photocopy Services & Ors.,[1] colloquially known as the DU Photocopy Case, is a landmark judgement by the Delhi High Court passed on September 16, 2016, where the court held that the creation and photocopying of course packs by the University of Delhi and its agents is not an infringement of the copyright in the underlying works which are being copied, since the same amounts to Fair use under the Indian Copyright Act, 1957. The case is notable for its broad interpretation of Fair use in education and cementing fair use as a user right in Indian copyright jurisprudence.^[1]
