Boston Globe, July 24, 2009  Now that the settlement is dead, the Justice Department should ask Google to stop all scanning of in-copyright works, and place all previously-scanned, in-copyright works that were scanned without express permission of the rights holder, in a dark archive. Google can use them when opt-in permission of the rights-holder is obtained, or when Congress or the Supreme Court resolves copyright infringement issues. So what if we're evil: "We're going full steam ahead, no matter what happens with the settle- ment." —Dan Clancy, Google Books executive |
