Reuters:  A U.S. appeals court ruled on Friday that Google’s massive
effort to scan millions of books for an online library does not
violate copyright law, rejecting claims from a group of authors that
the project illegally deprives them of revenue.

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York rejected
infringement claims from the Authors Guild and several individual
writers, and found that the project provides a public service without
violating intellectual property law.
