Google Books revised settlement adds limitations
Published: 16 Nov 2009 09:38 GMT
A revised settlement filed late on Friday over Google's right to scan digital books places additional limits on the company.
The settlement allows out-of-print books from only English-speaking countries to be scanned, restricts the ways Google can make money from scanning and digitising out-of-print books, and requires a registry to seek out copyright holders who do not come forward.
The amended settlement comes after Judge Denny Chin of the US District Court for the Southern District of New York granted a deadline extension to the parties to try to resolve issues the US Department of Justice had with the original October 2008 settlement.
