Important Information on the Amended Google Settlement
|
On November 19, 2009, the U.S. District Court gave preliminary approval to the Amended Settlement Agreement reached by Google, the Authors Guild Inc. and the Association of American Publishers.
Among the many substantial changes to the Google Book Settlement agreement is that it now only applies to books published in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia instead of books published anywhere in the world.
