District court rules Google Cache doesn't violate copyright
EFF's Fred von Lohmann is reporting on a decision by a Nevada district court ruling that Google Cache, which makes available copies of web pages that might no longer be available from their original provider, does not violate content owners' copyrights. Attorney and writer Blake Field had sued Google for caching writings on his web site, but the court ruled that Google Cache did not violate Field's copyright because its serving a cached copy was the result of "automated, non-volitional activity by Google servers," it obeys robots.txt and meta tags, and is fair use.
