A federal judge has rejected a deal between Google and lawyers for authors and publishers to let the gigantic search engine make money presiding over the world's largest digital library .
US Circuit Judge Denny Chin said the creation of a universal library would benefit many but would ``simply go too far.''
He said the settlement of the class-action lawsuit challenging the right of Google to scan books and display snippets for online searching would ``grant Google significant rights to exploit entire books, without permission of the copyright owners.''
Chin said the deal gives Goggle ``a significant advantage over competitors.'' He said it would be ``rewarding it for engaging in wholesale copying of copyrighted works without permission, while releasing claims well beyond those presented in the case.''
