« Peer-Review Researchers Explore Hyped Conclusions, Open Access, and Bias | Main | Google Print and the Authors Guild: A Googler Responds »
The Authors Guild on Wednesday announced a federal class action lawsuit against Google over the Google Library Project. The project involves an effort to digitize the holdings of key university libraries, and making those holdings searchable. While Google has said that the effort will expand access to knowledge, the authors’ group charged that the program amounts to “massive copyright infringement” because authors have not given permission to have their work reproduced.
