  > In sum, we conclude that: > Google’s unauthorized digitizing of copyright-protected works, creation of a search functionality, and display of snippets from those works are non-infringing fair uses. > The purpose of the copying is highly transformative, the public display of text is limited, and the revelations do not provide a significant market substitute for the protected aspects of the originals. > Google’s commercial nature and profit motivation do not justify denial of fair use. > Google’s provision of digitized copies to the libraries that supplied the books, on the understanding that the libraries will use the copies in a manner consistent with the copyright law, also does not constitute infringement. > Nor, on this record, is Google a contributory infringer. So does this apply to AI ? Does this main things like github copilot are fair use?
