Authors Guild: ‘To RIAA or Not to RIAA’
There’s equal reason to support or object to the proposed Google Books settlement. Creating a digital catalog of the worlds’ words might be the Holy Grail of intellectual empowerment. Yet building that library in the clouds would be allowed without the rights-holders’ consent — which the Justice Department and others contend is a complete and fundamental alteration of copyright law . The Authors Guild is backing the settlement in hopes of creating a new and legitimate book-selling venue. In…
