Is Google fair use? Israeli court to decide

However, for those who would like to know whether Google’s success story will continue to be attributed to fair use, a new case may provide some illumination, though too late for the Hargreaves Review. Yonatan Brauner has filed a claim concerning Book Search with the Jerusalem District Court, requesting it to be recognized as a class-action (Globes).
