“Google Books’ libraries scanning is fair use” confirmed by the Court of Appeal

“Google’s copying is fair use under 17 U.S.C. §107 and is therefore not infringing.

The Court of Appeals concludes that the defendant’s copying is transformative within the meaning of Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc., 510 U.S. 569, 10 578-585 (1994), does not offer the public a meaningful  substitute for matter protected by the plaintiffs’ copyrights, and satisfies § 107’s test for fair use.”

  • “What We Seek

    • Aggregate data about how Google is responding to the >250,000 requests to delist links thought to contravene data protection from name search results. We should know if the anecdotal evidence of Google’s process is representative: What sort of information typically gets delisted (e.g., personal health) and what sort typically does not (e.g., about a public figure), in what proportions and in what countries?”
