Google Responds to Authors Guild Lawsuit

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the better-than-fight-night dept.

Phoe6 writes "Google has responded to the Authors' Guild lawsuit of "massive copyright infringement". They point out that the Library Project is 'fully consistent with both the fair use doctrine under U.S. copyright law and the principles underlying copyright law itself, which allow everything from parodies to excerpts in book reviews.'"

    I'm just waiting for Google to release Suegle.

    Enter the name of the person/company you want to sue and click "Sue". We'll e-mail the court date to you, along with relevant precedent to your GMail account!
