Google runs into Copyright Dispute...Does the Church of Scientology have a leg to stand on in suiing Google for linking to church documents? Be sure to check out Operation Clambake, the site in question who claims all documentation on their site is ", is allowable under the "fair use" provisions of internationally recognized copyright law". If it is truly a question of copyright, shouldn't the Scientologists be suing the site in question and not Google???? When Google removed the link, it outraged the technology community - can Google win in this case??? Check out what Don Marti has to say about the issue...

Sites that don't want deep linking shouldn't be on the internet. It is really the nature of the medium. I don't see how organizations get off exploiting the internet and then thinking they can change it.
