Visual Artists also sue Google over copyright issues

Courtesy of Matt Elliott:


Now visual artists are getting in on the legal action against Google's digitization of books:

"Photographers and illustrators filed a lawsuit against Google on Wednesday, claiming that the search engine displays copyrighted images in books it scans, without fairly compensating the people who created the images.

...

The Google Books legal action, initially filed in 2005, is expected to be settled soon; however, Wednesday's lawsuit over visual art on Google could keep the search engine in court on copyright issues for longer."
