My more complete analysis of the ruling is now available at:

http://blogs.library.duke.edu/scholcomm/2014/10/19/gsu-appeal-ruling-read-better-seems/

It is also well worth reading Nancy Sims from Minnesota on the decision,
at:

http://blog.lib.umn.edu/copyrightlibn/2014/10/11th-circuit-gsu-ruling.html.

The odd thing about this ruling is that it looks like a loss for GSU, but
in the course of the analysis, the Appeals panel rejects every major
argument made by the plaintiffs.  The publishers won a reversal, but in
the process lost every major principle about fair use they were fighting
for.
