NEW YORK (AP) - A highly anticipated hearing to decide if Google can legally build the world's biggest digital library is set for federal court in New York City.
Thursday's hearing provides Manhattan Judge Denny Chin with oral arguments to go with more than 500 written submissions since Google Inc. struck a $125 million deal with authors and publishers.
The publishing industry sued Google after it announced plans to build the giant online library in December 2004. Since then the Mountain View, Calif., company has scanned more than 12 million books.
The U.S. Department of Justice applauds the effort as holding "vast promise" but says a reworking last fall of a deal reached a year earlier still raises antitrust issues.
Google says the judge holds the key to "the greatest library in history."
