This situation is like a library saying you can look at its books but not copy them all and sell the copies, while another company helps people make those copies.


Why It Matters

This lawsuit is important because it could change how companies can use information found on the internet. For example, if Google wins, it could make it harder for other services that rely on getting information from search engines to operate.
