Earlier today, the Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) hosted a webinar with attorney Lois Wasoff on the latest court rulings in the Google Books Case. On October 16, 2015, a U.S. federal appeals court ruled in favor of Google and against the Authors Guild in a copyright infringement case that began 10 years ago over Google’s controversial book scanning project. This opinion will have enormous impact, for years to come, on fair use analyses and jurisprudence.
