Yes the copyright law test is almost as exciting as the tremendous increase
in universal access to information.
The lawyers will certainly get richer on this but at least Google has the $$
to test the laws.

Subject: RE: University of California joins Google book project
I think this is an interesting development in the testing of copyright laws.
I've always heard that if you want universities to develop good records
management programs, then have one of them lose a major lawsuit for millions
of dollars over bad records management. Now I'm wondering if...if you want
to test the copyright laws, do something that just may be a blatant
violation of copyright laws. I hope the universities (and Google) don't
lose big time with the potential lawsuits.
