[edit] Conflict with Google
On 20 September 2005, the Authors Guild, together with Herbert Mitgang, Betty Miles and Daniel Hoffman, sued Google for its Book Search project. According to the authors, Google is liable because of copyright infringement of the individual writers. According to Google, the Google Book Search project "directly benefits authors and publishers by increasing awareness and sales of the books."
