A few weeks ago, we wrote about the big win for fair use, as the appeals court ruled against the Authors Guild and said that libraries scanning books in their collection to make a searchable index is fair use. Hilariously, the Authors Guild is in complete denial about this ruling, putting out a statement claiming it was „not a total victory for either side“ and that the ruling was „narrow.“ Except, that‘s not true. Yes, the Court sent back a tiny part of the case, but if it wasn‘t a „complete“ victory for libraries, book scanning and fair use, it was, at the very least a 95% victory.
