Copyright Infringement

In 2006, writer Gordon Roy Parker sued Google for copyright infringement. Parker posted a chapter of his book on Usenet bulletin board which was then indexed by Google.  Gordon Roy Parker sued Google because Google archived the book and provided “excerpts from his website in search results”.  This type of work was file. In the end Google ended up winning the case because judged stated that “ When and ISP automatically and temporarily stores data without human intervention so that the system can operate and transmit data to its users, the necessary element of volition is missing.”
