A decade ago a group of alarmed authors sued Google, claiming the service cut into their copyrights. (____________). The plaintiffs appealed to the Second Circuit Court in New York. On October 16th, they were rebuffed again. How can a company get away with digitizing millions of books without the authors’ consent and showing them to the world? In his ruling, Judge Pierre Leval explained that copyright law gives “potential creators” the exclusive right to copy their own work in order to expand everybody’s “access to knowledge”. It is not all about enriching authors. The “ultimate, primary intended beneficiary”, he wrote, “is the public.”
After years of legal machinations, a federal district court ruled in favour of the internet giant in 2013.
Besides, if the work is put to a “transformative purpose”, it counts as permissible “fair use” under the Copyright Act of 1976.
The “purpose of Google’s copying of the original copyrighted books”, the ruling reads, “is to make available significant information about those books, permitting a searcher to identify those that contain a word or term of interest.”
Google was issued a notice to remove all the books and to upload them after taking consent from the respective author.
Google has teamed up with libraries to scan over 20m titles—many of them out of print—and put them on the web for all to view.
Correct Answer is (a). The last line gives the meaning that the ruling was in favor of google. So A) is correct
