Today's Story Highlights

JPEG Committee Proposal Stirs Image-DRM Fears
The JPEG Committee last week met in Brussels to discuss a proposal to
secure privacy information such as metadata for published pictures,
including geographical information enabling identification of people who
have given anonymous interviews to journalists, and pictures posted on
social media intended only for a limited audience. The proposal also
seeks to address intellectual property rights.

Appeals Court Validates Google's Mammoth Books Project
Google won an important legal victory on Friday, when the Second United
States Court of Appeals in New York upheld a lower court's judgment in
its years-long battle with the Authors Guild over Google Books. The case
"tests the boundaries of fair use," Judge Pierre Leval wrote, but
Google's actions did not constitute infringement, because they were for
a "highly transformative" purpose.

Ingress Maker Niantic Scores $20 Million for AR Gaming
Niantic on Thursday announced that it was the beneficiary of a big bet
pooled together by benefactors Google, Nintendo and The Pokémon Co.
Niantic, which develops augmented reality games, will receive $20
million in the Series A funding round and could receive another $10
million if it realizes certain undisclosed goals. The company was
founded by Google Earth cocreator John Hanke.
