Greetings,
A verdict was issued in the Georgia State case yesterday evening.
For a helpful summary and analysis of the case, please visit the most recent posting on Kevin Smith's blog, Scholarly Communications @ Duke: "The GSU Decision-- Not an Easy Road For Anyone"
http://blogs.library.duke.edu/scholcomm/
Here is a link to the full text of the case:

I'm still reading the entire text, which is about 350 pages long, but after reading Kevin Smith's analysis, it seems to be a mixed bag for libraries. For instance, the judge stated very strict limits on how much of a book can be copied: 10% may be copied based on the total pages of the book.
Best,
Tammy
