Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
After more than a decade of legal battles, a federal court affirmed the lawfulness of Google Books, the large-scale effort by Google to create a digitized, searchable repository of the world’s texts. The decision was based on whether or not the project counts as fair use, a concept codified into law in 1976- long before the Internet became a worldwide network for sharing content. On Tech Tuesday, we’ll look at the details of the Google Books case and what the decision means for our ability to use and share information in the digital age.
