[Web4lib] Copyright Law (fair use) analysis of Google Print program

[Steven C. Perkins]

Hello:

The link below goes to a 6 page analysis of the Google Print program by 
Jonathan Band.

http://www.policybandwidth.com/doc/googleprint.pdf

He concludes that under the fair use results of the Arriba case [1], it is 
unlikely that the Google Print program violates US copyright law.

Regards,

Steven C. Perkins
