SCOTUS Turns Its Back on Google Books Challenge
The Supreme Court has declined to hear a petition to review a lower
court decision allowing Google to scan and publish excerpts of
copyright-protected books without seeking permission from the authors or
paying them. The petition, filed at the end of last year, was the latest
move in the Guild's decade-long war with Google, which has said that its
searchable digital books database is fair use.

Amazon Offers Binge-Friendly Monthly Prime Subscriptions
Amazon on Monday began offering Prime Video as a standalone service with
a monthly subscription option. Prime Video previously was offered only
as part of a bundle with Amazon Prime, which is available for $99 a
year. Amazon also offers a monthly Prime membership plan for $10.99,
which includes all the benefits that come with the yearly Prime plan,
including two-day free shipping.
