Journalist, Freelance and Sci-Fi Authors Groups
Take Aim at Google Book Settlement
Three national authors groups comprising
more than 4,000 writers and journalists
decried the controversial agreement between
Google and author-publisher groups that
would allow the tech giant to sell access to
millions of books online. In a letter to
Congress, the three groups -- the National
Writers Union, the American Society of
Journalists and Authors, and the Science
Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America --
pointed to what they saw as the overly
confusing and ultimately unfair rules that
would govern what Google could do with the
books if the settlement were to be
approved in federal court. [LA Times]
