(Telecompaper) The US Supreme Court has denied an appeal which contended that Google's book-scanning project violates copyright law, Reuters reported. The court denied without comment a petition from the Authors Guild to hear the appeal of a 2013 federal court ruling seen as a landmark copyright decision for the digital era. In the decade-long case, authors and their backers claimed Google was illegally scanning and digitizing millions of books without compensation to the copyright holders.
