Google Library Project - Settlement
Download as PPT, PDF1 like725 views
The document discusses the Google Library Project and its recent settlement with the Authors Guild and the Association of American Publishers. It summarizes some key points of the settlement, including that Google will pay $60 per included work and 70% of book sales and ad revenue to a registry. The registry will distribute funds to rights holders. The settlement also allows limited free access to digitized books for public and university libraries. Some terms are ambiguous around downloading, printing, and use of books for research. In conclusion, while it may not be perfect, the settlement provides benefits for authors, readers, and the idea of a universal digital library.
