...waste time and wage distant linguistic battles, Scrabulous eventually became the most popular application on Facebook, attracting more than 500,000 players each day to the social-networking site. But the brothers, Jayant and Rajat Agarwalla, had a quick and clever response to the accusations of copyright infringement. Their newly dubbed "WordScraper" now features a malleable board that, if one feels so inclined, can be rearranged to form the original Scrabble board...

The first issue of the magazine - which would have been called Stag Party but for threats of copyright infringement - sold about 54,000 copies, cementing the allure of Hef's smoking-jacket sensibility.

We hope that HUL will push for even greater access moving forward...

Unfortunately, over 300 publishing companies did not agree; and their opposition found legal sanction in a 125 million dollar settlement, halting the scanning of material still under copyright. Harvard University, which has been cooperating with Google and four other libraries, decided to extract itself from the project as legal liabilities mounted. Going forward, the University will only allow Google to scan works that are no longer protected by copyright. While the protection of intellectual property would seem a compelling...
