Legal Issues of Google Books (Mission Statement)
The main goal of this project is to introduce the topic of communication law and give an introduction to the legal issues currently facing the Google Books library project. Here, visitors can gain an introductory understanding of Google and Google books, the book digitization projects and the current copyright laws that Google has claimed to be infringed on.
Students can use the information provided to gain an understanding of the current field of copyright and realize how it is changing at every moment and why it is difficult for a company like Google to embark on digitizing books around the world.
I hope that this assigned will be used as a High School level introductory course into international and copyright law with a practical example. I hope that teachers will be able to use the information gathered to guide students to this example to apply the theory that they learned. Teachers will most likely include this website in their syllabus or direct students to read about it so they will get a better understanding of the topic they just learned. I also envision my project would be used to help supplement a kind of moot court in class. A teacher can give the assignment of a similar situation, give this website as background information and have them apply it their case.
