Notes

  1. This case dealt with the Google Books project. The Authors Guild claimed that the HathiTrust Digital Library (HDL is an organization founded by 13 U.S. universities to create a repository for the digital copies that Google electronically scanned from the collections of their respective libraries) had infringed the copyrights of its members through its use of books scanned by Google. The Google Books case as such ended after this book’s publication, in the decisions of 16 October 2015 by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York and of 18 April 2016 by the Supreme Court, ruling in favour of Google. As authors underline, the arguments in favor of Google are mainly “its highly convincing transformative purpose, together with the absence of significant substitutive competition, as reasons for granting fair use”.
