Update on the Google Books settlement

Facing a chorus of opposition from groups such as the U.S. Justice Department, the parties to the Google Books settlement have asked  the court for more time to rework the proposed agreement. The revised settlement that emerges is likely to differ in some substantial ways from the earlier one, thus the July 27 post on the subject is probably obsolete. Nevertheless, we encourage AESE members to pay close attention to future developments to ensure their rights are protected.
