Hello Blog World!
I’m back again and with a new article. I found an interesting article in today’s Library Journal online subscriptions entitled Authors Guild vs. Google Books Now a Class Action Lawsuit by Meredith Schwartz.
It appears the Google book scanning fiasco is not over just yet. Judge Chin did not accept Google’s settlement with the Authors Guild and has now classified it as a class action lawsuit. Although, certain individuals are happy about their exposure due to Google’s mishap, they are still being included in this new class action suit, meaning if the Author’s Guild wins and Google is forced to pay, those individuals can still receive payouts. This doesn’t seem fair to me, but hey I’m not the judge.
If you’re completely in the dark about this whole situation…read this Wikipedia article below for a quick review of the Google book scandal.
Google Book Scandal
Don’t forget to check out the article I mentioned above for further details on the case.
As always, education, communicate, collaborate your way to a better future,
