A New York court has blocked the agreement between publishers and Google of books online. Google had previously settled a six-year class action suit over copyright infringement. However, the New York Court has stated the deal would ‘simply go too far’, in giving Google an unfair advantage against its competition.
Google’s managing counsel, Hilary Ware stated “Regardless of the outcome, we’ll continue to work to make more of the world’s books discoverable online through Google Books and Google eBooks.”
