So these books that the fight has been about are out of print and essentially do not exist anymore. They do not make money for anyone. They do not contribute to anyone or anything. For all intents and purposes, they might as well not have existed at all. Google tries to make a library of these nonexistent works so that they can once again benefit humanity and the copyright holders (which is pretty much never the authors when it comes to books) are upset because they're losing out on their $0 of profit. Yeah, copyright law really works well in this country.
