Book Scanning As Fair Use: Google Makes Its Case As Authors Guild Appeals Hathitrust Fair Use Ruling
November 16, 2012 - 12:00pm — Blake
Two new developments in the two big cases concerning book scanning and fair use: first up, we've got the somewhat unsurprising news that the Authors Guild is appealing its rather massive loss against Hathitrust, the organization that was set up to scan books from a bunch of university library collections. As you may recall, Judge Harold Baer's ruling discussed how the book scanning in that case was obviously fair use. It was a near complete smackdown for the Authors Guild.

[ This comment edit added by Blake... Hey you spammers, I have many questions about why you do what you do when you're leaving these comments. Do you ever check to see if your comment is still on my site? If you do, can you email me using the "contact" link up on the top on my site? You've been pestering us for years and I'd love to know what makes you tick. I'm assuming you're a real person, and I could very well be wrong. I changed the link you left below, you'll have to try "man and van" someplace else :-) ]
Ridiculous story there. What happened after?
