...and then the court threw out the settlement as unfair, and then the court ruled in Google's favor.
But the court noted that
Google was right on the edge of fair use. Google notably prevented the previews from being usable as a replacement for an original purchase by only displaying 1/8 of a page snippets, blacklisting 1 snippet per page, blacklisting every tenth page completely, and blacklisting works where a single snippet could be all you wanted such as dictionaries and recipe books.

- iudqnolq 4y agoYes, the court also found that their collaboration with libraries to legally scan the books mattered.
