Hi Mark
It depends on the client. A university I occasionally contract to directly 
will absolutely not use anybody who does not have professional indemnity 
and public liability insurance. This obviously covers them, and me, 
against charges of plagiarism etc. However, as I am only covered for the 
period of the insurance, I haven't yet worked out what happens if there is 
a problem after I let the insurance lapse. 
I assume the big educational publishers are fiercely protective of their 
material, but the nature of the work involves drawing on the writing of 
academics authors. I'd be interested to know how other writers working in 
the educational market deal with this.
