Authors' Guild sues Google, claiming copyright infringement
BBC News is reporting this afternoon, London time that the US Authors’ Guild has filed suit against Google in US District Court, claiming that the company’s plan to make some book content freely available, infringes upon copyright.
The lawsuit seeks class action status, seeks damages and demands an injunction against further infringements.
Google said it regretted the Authors Guild action, asked for more talks, and claimed its plans benefited writers.
Google has a grand plan of "organizing the world’s information and making it more universally accessible and useful".
