COURT RULES GOOGLE CACHE CONSTITUTES FAIR USE
A federal district court in Nevada has ruled that the Google Cache
feature does not infringe U.S. copyright law. The ruling clarifies
the legal status of several common search engine practices and could
influence future court cases, including the lawsuits brought by book
publishers against the Google Library Project. Case name is Field v.
Google.
