Google, No. 06-55405, 2007 U.S. App. Lexis 11420 (9th Cir. May 16, 2007), which considered, inter alia, whether a less-than-four-year-old fair use precedent validating an image search engine had been overtaken by subsequent events. Not so fast, answered the Ninth Circuit in a lengthy decision destined to provide important guidance to online enterprises on a range of Internet copyright issues.
