Google’s Settlement With Publishers Does Not Resolve All Library Project Issues
by George H. Pike
After more than 7 years of litigation, Google and The Association of American Publishers (AAP) reached a settlement over Google's ongoing Library Project to scan books from public and academic libraries and make the content available over Google. The settlement permits the project to continue, but it gives U.S. publishers the power to choose whether to make their books available through Google or to have them removed. However, the settlement does not resolve the claims made by The Authors Guild and individual authors that the project violates their copyrights. Those claims remain tied up in litigation, notwithstanding previous efforts at reaching a settlement.
