Google Books Wins



Google?s idea to scan millions of books and make them searchable online seemed audacious when it was announced in 2004. But fast-forward to today, when people expect to find almost anything they want online, and the plan seems like an unsurprising and unavoidable part of today?s Internet. NY Times 
Google has emerged victorious from an eight-year court fight with the Author's Guild over whether the tech company's book-scanning program violates copyright laws. U.S. Circuit Judge Denny Chin in Manhattan ruled Thursday (November 14, 2013) that the program is legal, writing that it provides "significant public benefits." Since 2004, Google has scanned more than 20 million books as part of an electronic database, making snippets of the scanned books available to the public.... The judge added that the program has "become an invaluable research tool that permits students, teachers, librarians and others to more effectively identify and locate books."  NPR.
