More on the Google Book Settlement

Is the Google Book Settlement Dead? - Just saw this blog post. Considering all of the "Google Books is leaving/is going to leave libraries in its dust" stuff I've been reading lately, this made for interesting reading. I recommend reading Marybeth Peters's entire testimony, which can be found here. The testimony is far more readable than I expected and clearly highlights several concerns about the settlement.

Dear Author and Google Book Settlement

I just finished reading Part 1 of what will apparently be a series of posts about the Google Book Settlement on Dear Author. It was a little hard for me to follow, but it doesn't sound all that great for the authors involved (which, if I understand this correctly, could be any author, ever). When all the parts of the series have been put up, I'll have to read it all through again, and maybe draw myself some diagrams and charts or something.
