Publishers Lunch
After at least three strikes (or
more, depending upon how you count), the Authors Guild's decade-long case
accusing Google of copyright infringement in their library book-scanning
program has come to an end. In their conference last Friday, the Supreme Court denied
the Guild's petition for a writ of certiorari. That leaves standing District
Court Judge Denny Chin's original and unequivocal 2013 ruling
that Google's scanning qualified as "fair use." Judge Chin's finding
was unanimously upheld
by a three-judge Second Circuit Court of Appeals panel in 2015.
