- Abstract
Google has expanded its position along the last year around the World with an stake on the market of 80% approximately. Google Books was launched in 2004 for the purpose to become The Digital Library Worldwide. Google Books took advantage of its previous experience as an Internet searcher, to ground its performances for the implementation of Google Books, mainly digitalization, indexation and public display of books. Google has ruled its own rules of copyright for the Internet environment, even if such rules do not comfort with the laws and caselaw currently in act. The agreements sealed between Google Books and the libraries breach the exception included within the American Copyright Act, for libraries and their copies. The unlawfull short-cut taken by Google forecluses competitors to be within the market with the same conditions as Google Books. The Fair Use groundings exposed by Google Books do not fit properly, mainly its transformative value goal. Furthermore, its opting out solution within the Settlement Agreement is a tough way for the authors and rightholders to exercise their rights which goes to far. The impact within Europe of Google Books has to effects one on the side of Fair Use Doctrine and the other side Orphan Works. The last decision from Google's Books Judge which rejects the second amendment agreement puts certain new basis for the future regulations on Internet Arena, even the Google still moves as huge pulp. The Worldwide Digital Library looks like rather to public than to private.
