The three-judge panel also signaled it may prove improper to allow a class action on behalf of potentially hundreds of thousands of writers arguing that the Google Books Library Project improperly copied their works without permission.
So if Google can make a copy of someone's work without permission does that mean that it will be legal to make dark net copies of books? It's copying a book without permission in both cases. Legalizing one would seem to legalize the other. And what of the poor author who doesn't have the $$ to sue a big corporation like Google? Where is their legal redress?
