> The university libraries that had allowed Google to digitize their entire collections were sued by the Authors Guild under copyright law.  The National Federation of the Blind and several blind students and faculty members intervened on the side of the universities and today the Second Circuit ruled that making that entire digital collection available to those with print disabilities is a fair use under the copyright law.  This is a huge win!
