Publishers Sue Google over Google Print

First it was the authors, now it’s the publishers. Each has sued Google over its Library Project. Unlike the Authors’ Guild lawsuit, however, the publishers’ complaint seeks only an injunction against future infringement, not damages for past infringement.

Also notable is that the publishers are represented by Michael Keller and Jeffrey Cunard of Debevoise & Plimpton. While counsel for the Authors’ Guild has done some litigation on the use of authors’ work in electronic databases, they are not as well-known in the national copyright law community as Keller and Cunard, who, among other things, teach the cyberlaw clinic at Harvard Law School.
