Last October, the 2nd Circuit held that the
Google Books project qualified as fair use.
The decision came after a decade long legal battle between the
Authors Guild and Google. The Authors Guild appealed the case to
the Supreme Court, but today was met with rejection. The Supreme Court does not
give reasons for rejecting petitions for writ of certiorari, so one
can only speculate as to why the court decided not to hear the
case. Congratulations to Google: there will not be any more sequels
to its legal saga.
