Well UCBerkley is/was providing the educational content free of charge for the public at it's own expense. I would liken it to a free public service. If the service does not work/apply for you, do you sue the entity/entities in charge to make it work for you, or do you just move on? And how is the university's choice to pull its content behind a UCBerkley login a disgusting move? In my opinion, it's well within it's right to do so and also well within it's rights to not make the material publicly available in the first place. I also think that it is totally understandable move considering it would have to incur additional costs to keep the material publicly available.
