Good and Evil in the Garden of Digitization
Google's digitization of books lead to legal investigation that may have enormous long term influence on the future of digital preservation. The concept of copyright has been discussed here before, but the Google Fair Use court case is likely to establish much more specific law regarding the digitization of books and other information, and could create real problems for those working in the information preservation field.

I often wondered about the copyright issues with Google Books. I've enjoyed saving books to my digital library on Google. I wonder how this legal issue will turn out.
