Last week, Judge Denny Chin gave Google the green light for its book scanning project - and changed the rules for everybody that has a web site. The 30 page opinion is just the latest in the now-eight year battle between Google and the Author’s Guild (among others) over Google’s massive book scanning project. But if the Author’s Guild fails to overturn the Judge’s decision on appeal, it will mark an enormous watershed in the ability of Web site owners to display copyrighted works without the prior permission of the owners of those works.
