I've been watching this case for years. Too many aspects, too many claimants, too many defendants (at one time the Libraries were defendants), too many inconsistencies.
Google walks away a winner in that they have from the get go hobbled their product as "snippets". That part the plaintiffs could not overcome as far as DISPLAY and USE of product (copyright works). G, on the other hand, might have ALL of the content, but they can't use all of the content for any given purpose other than back room research on the world's works as housed in Libraries for whatever purpose or results of same they have in mind.
I doubt that G will go after websites which block them. If that should ever begin, I have no doubt there would be a significant backlash.
