Another milestone in the Author's Guild vs Google lawsuit.
Quote:
Federal Judge Harold Baer has dismissed the Author’s Guild’s copyright infringement lawsuit against five major universities who were working with Google on its massive book digitization program.
The universities, in a joint trust called the HathiTrust Digital Library, led by the University of Michigan, were scanning and posting books for Google.
The Author’s Guild claimed the universities and Google were illegally using copyrighted materials. Baer, however, said the project fell under ”fair use.”
