News & Trends: Countdown to the Google Book Search Settlement Review
What's on the minds of publishers as the deadline for opting out of the suit approaches?
The Settlement at a Glance
According to the settlement administration Web site Google has created, the agreement enables Google to “scan and maintain an electronic database of in-copyright books.” Google also can “sell access to individual books and institutional subscriptions to the database, place advertisements on any page dedicated to a book and make other commercial use of books.” Authors and publishers can opt out (request that their books be removed from Google’s database).
