Are search engines illegal or fair use?搜索引擎是非法或公平使用？

In a significant ruling在一个重要的裁决 reported by EFF报告由EFF and和 Boing Boing boing boing , Google’s cache is ruled to be legal and consistent with fair use. ， Google的快取记忆体是裁定是合法的和一致的公平使用。 This likely helps pave the way for the book search project:这可能有助于铺平道路，该图书搜索项目：

The court granted summary judgment in favor of Google on four independent bases:法院批准了简易判决有利于Google的四个独立的基地：

Serving a webpage from the Google Cache does not constitute direct infringement, because it results from automated, non-volitional activity by Google servers (Field did not allege infringement on the basis of the making of the initial copy by the Googlebot);服务的一个网页，从Google快取记忆体，并不构成直接侵犯，因为它的结果，从自动化，非意志活动由Google服务器（外勤没有指控侵权的基础上作出初步的副本由Googlebot ）的;

Field’s conduct (failure to set a “no archive” metatag; posting “allow all” robot.txt header) indicated that he impliedly licensed search engines to archive his web page;外地的行为（不设置“不存档”中继;张贴“ ，让所有”的robot.txt标题）表示，他暗示领有牌照的搜索引擎封存他的网页;

The Google Cache is a fair use; and在Google快取记忆体是一个公平使用;

The Google Cache qualifies for the DMCA’s 512(b) caching “safe harbor” for online service providers.在Google缓存资格DMCA的的512 （二）高速缓存“安全港”在线服务供应商。

So Google is found to not violate copyright law, even though it automatically scans and indexes works online without permission.因此， Google是发现并没有违反著作权法，即使它会自动扫描和指标的工程线上，未经允许。 Google provides several mechansisms to de-list from their database and they plan to have a similar mechanism for the book seach project. Google提供的几个mechansisms ，以德名单从他们的数据库和他们的计划，有一个类似的机制，为图书搜索项目。 It is simply economically infeasible to ask for permission in a system where there is no efficient way to find out who to ask.这只不过是在经济上是不可行的，要求允许在一个系统如果没有有效的方式来找出谁问。 This goes for books which are under copyright but out of print, as well as web pages made publicly available on the world wide web.这也同样适用于图书，其中有版权的，但已绝版，以及网页上公开提供在万维网上查阅。

The way for book search is not entirely clear,路图书搜索并不完全清楚， as pointed out by Lawrence Lessig所指出的劳伦斯莱斯格 , due to the reliance on an implied licence which presumably stems from the information collected by the Google web search engine having been publicly and freely posted in the first place. ，由于要依赖于一个隐含的牌照，想必是源自所收集的资料由Google网络搜索引擎已经公开和自由张贴摆在首位。
