The U.S. Google Book Settlement
In the United States, Google's outlook had been more promising until March, when a U.S. District court rejected Google's 2008 settlement with the Authors Guild and the Association of American Publishers, on behalf of a number of U.S. publishers and authors.
According to an article on The Economic Times, "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.'''
