Title: GOOGLE prevails in digital books lawsuit...
Post by Webbie on Oct 17th, 2015, 7:32am

The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday ruled that Google Books does not infringe the copyright protections of authors.

The court handed the technology giant a major victory over a series of authors who had sued over decade-old project, in which Google makes digital copies of books picked out by major libraries and allows the public to view snippets online.

Interesting as there are sites getting take down notices for doing exactly this. Then again we have gotten take down notices for some really stupid reasons. Even when nothing bad was said about anyone or anything.
Anyway here is a link to the main story... http://thehill.com/policy/technology/257141-google-books-prevails-in-copyright-lawsuit
