The legal battle between library database giant OCLC and shadow library search engine Anna's Archive has hit a snag. A federal judge in Ohio expressed uncertainty about the legality of large-scale data scraping under state law and declined to rule on OCLC's request for a default judgment. Instead, the judge decided to send core legal questions to the Supreme Court of Ohio for clarification.
