Gordon Parker tried to sue Google for indexing and providing excerpts from his book in the search results. The judge ruled in favor of Google saying, “When an ISP automatically and temporarily stores data without human intervention so that the system can operate and transmit data to its users, the necessary element of volition (willful intent to infringe) is missing.” [B.

An interesting notion where the law can be broken by machines. Cool.
