> allowing their students to sell their technical partner's content

He isn't selling their technical partner's content. He is selling the reader, the content is already freely available to whoever can use the app anyway via a browser and their login credentials. There is a big difference.




i don't think there is a big difference. without their content[1], his app is nothing; the web browser is still a web browser.

[1]: it's irrelevant whether the school or the partner owned it, he did it without permission (and i highly doubt the reader has the license to do whatever they wanted with that data either).
