Google has been scanning millions of books and uploading them so they can be read for free online. There are currently 20 million books that can be accessed for free through books.google.com, with the company's stated goal of having every book ever printed available. The major publishers of the world have been trying to sue them to stop this from the time they began the project. "Lawsuits trying to stop Google Books have been ongoing since 2005, and Thursday, eight years later, a judge finally ruled in Google's favour. Judge Denny Chin of the U.S. district court wrote that Google's scanning constitutes fair use because it alters the form the text appears in, and also uses some clever code to prevent the material from being copied en masse by users. Google Books "advances the progress of the arts and sciences, while maintaining respectful consideration for the rights of authors and other creative individuals, and without adversely impacting the rights of copyright holders."
