theflyonthewall.com: Google's deal with authors draws new criticism, WSJ reports
Google Books (GOOG) has had two settlements with authors regarding digital books and now there's new criticism with the agreements, according to the Wall Street Journal's "Digits" blog. Amazon.com (AMZN) yesterday filed an objection to the revised agreement, including that the agreement violates the U.S. Copyright Act. “The (settlement) continues to give Google exclusive rights likely to lead to a monopoly,” it read. U.C. Berkeley Professor Pam Samuelson submitted an objection on behalf of a group of academic authors, saying: “We do not believe that the settlement of a class action lawsuit is a proper way to make such a profound set of changes in rights of authors and publishers, in markets for books, and procedures for resolving disputes as the (settlement) would bring about.” Reference Link :theflyonthewall.com
