Google's web search systems no copyright infringement

Judge R. Barclay Surrick of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania has dismissed a lawsuit alleging that Google Inc.'s Web search systems infringe on a publisher's copyright. The judge in that case affirmed Google's "fair use" right to cache and found that Google was not responsible for anonymous Web postings attacking the plaintiff in Usenet newsgroups that Google archives on its computers. Google enjoys projection under an exemption to the Communications Decency Act.
