A judge in New York has dismissed a lawsuit filed 8 years ago by the Authors Guild over Google’s idea to scan millions of books and make them searchable online. The New York Times says Judge Denny Chin admitted that his law clerks used Google Books in researching the case. He said the search function doesn’t replace books, and that all society benefits from the project.
