Google's Mass Copying of Copyrighted Works Is Judged 'Fair Use' Google's mass-copying of copyrighted works to build a digital library of more than 20 million books is shielded by the fair use doctrine, Judge Denny Chin (See Profile<http://judges.newyorklawjournal.com/profile/U.S._Second_Circuit_Court_of_Appeals/Denny_Chin/Denny_Chin-1000029.xml>) ruled yesterday. Granting summary judgment to the search engine giant and its Google Books initiative, Chin said the copying and presentation of "snippets" of works that appear when an Internet user enters search terms does not violate the Copyright Act because the use is "transformative" and provides "significant public benefits." http://bit.ly/1eV8W30 Source: http://www.law.com/jsp/lawtechnologynews/PubArticleLTN.jsp?id=1202627897474&kw=Google'sMass Copying of Copyrighted Works Is Judged 'Fair Use'&et=editorial&bu=Law Technology News&cn=20131115&src=EMC-Email&pt=Daily Alert&slreturn=20131015100008 See if people are clicking on this link: http://bit.ly/1eV8W30+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: http://bitly.com/pages/sidebar -- Peter Kurilecz CRM CA IGP [log in to unmask] Dallas, Texas Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org http://twitter.com/RAINbyte http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RAINbyte/ http://paper.li/RAINbyte/rainbyte http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/archives/ http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/records-management/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/peterakurilecz Information not relevant for my reply has been deleted to reduce the electronic footprint and to save the sanity of digest subscribers List archives at http://lists.ufl.edu/archives/recmgmt-l.html Contact [log in to unmask] for assistance To unsubscribe from this list, click the below link.
