The Google-Authors Guild Battle Just Ended

the decade long battle between Google and the Authors Guild is over. The gill came after Google for scanning more than 20 million library books, making them accessible to anyone on the Internet. The case went all the way to the Supreme Court. But in the end, Google one, the Supreme Court upheld a lower court's ruling that scanning the books is fair use and not copyright infringement. Since the search giant shows only restricted snippet of the work, the case means that literature will remain available to more people. The Supreme Court set in their short order that they will not hear an appeal to the case.
