Believe it or not, we don’t cover every piece of tech news here at SnapMunk. In an effort to keep you apprised of all things relevant in the world of technology and startups, here are some noteworthy tech news items that didn’t get a full column this week but certainly deserve a glance.
Supreme Court Rejects Google Books Copyright Case
A bunch of members from the Authors Guild were up in arms about Google scanning their books. They claimed it was copyright infringement. An earlier court ruling had already declared it legal to scan books, even if you didn’t own them, but the Authors Guild wasn’t satisfied – they asked the Supreme Court to overturn the ruling. The Supreme Court declined to hear the case. Unlike most Google projects, Google doesn’t display advertising to those searching books, nor does it make money when someone purchases a book through a Google link. So maybe Google isn’t totally evil after all.
