NEW YORK, NOV 15:
A federal judge rejected a lawsuit on Thursday by authors aimed at
stopping Google's book scanning
project, ruling that Google's plan to scan and digitise 20 million
books constitutes fair use
under US copyright laws.
The long-running dispute centred on Google's Library Project in which
the search giant reached
agreements with several large libraries to scan their collections to
provide information about
the books and online excerpts.
Author and publisher groups argued that the practice was a violation
of copyright, but Google
reached a settlement with the publishers last year.
In his ruling Judge Denny Chin rejected the authors' claims, and said
the Google project offered
numerous benefits to the public and to researchers. It also fell under
the fair use doctrine
of copyright law because "Google's use of the copyrighted works is
highly transformative,"
he ruled.
Not only does the Google project provide "a new and efficient way for
readers and researchers
to find books," he added, but it "has become an essential research
tool, as it helps librarians
identify and find research sources, it makes the process of
interlibrary lending more efficient,
and it facilitates finding and checking citations."
