Authors Alliance co-founder Pamela Samuelson has published an opinion piece in today’s Chronicle of Higher Education on the substantial benefits the recent fair use ruling in the Google Books case brings to scholarly authors.  She outlines four reasons why the ruling in favor of Google in the Authors Guild v. Google case advantages authors and researchers, despite the Guild’s arguments to the contrary. The Authors Guild has announced that it will petition the Supreme Court to review the decision. If the Court does take the case, we at Authors Alliance will continue our involvement to show our support for authors, scholars, researchers, and the public—all of whom benefit from fair use access to knowledge and information.
