Round One to Google: Judge Chin Finds Mass Book Digitization a Fair Use. Guild Plans Appeal.
Quote:
“We disagree with and are disappointed by the court’s decision today,” Authors Guild executive director Paul Aiken said. “This case presents a fundamental challenge to copyright that merits review by a higher court. Google made unauthorized digital editions of nearly all of the world’s valuable copyright-protected literature and profits from displaying those works. In our view, such mass digitization and exploitation far exceeds the bounds of fair use defense.”
“We plan to appeal the decision.”
