Google, Book Search Partners Ask For Four More Days
Nov 9, 2009 at 3:04pm ET by Matt McGee
Today is the deadline for Google and its partners in the Google Book Search settlement to submit a new version of the settlement that satisfies the recent concerns laid out by the US Justice Department and others.
But instead, as the New York Times reports, they've asked federal judge Denny Chin for an extension until this Friday, Nov. 13.
In their extension request, Google and the settlement parties say they met with the DOJ as recently as this past Friday, Nov. 6. Assuming the request is granted, and the revised settlement is filed by Friday, it's possible a final hearing could still h [...]

Brin Defends Book Search Settlement; Google & Plaintiffs Get One Month To Revise It
Oct 9, 2009 at 2:29pm ET by Matt McGee
The clock is ticking: Google and the parties involved in the Book Search lawsuit settlement have one month from today -- until November 9 -- to revise the settlement and satisfy the recent objections from the US Justice Department and others.
That may seem like an ambitious timeframe given the amount of objections the settlement has received. It also suggests that Google and the parties involved involved don't think dramatic changes are needed to make everyone happy. In a New York Times article this week, Paul Aiken of the Authors Guild -- one of the parties that originally sued Google -- s [...]

Judge Denny Chin of the US District Court, who is presiding over the Google Book Search Settlement and was prepared to approve it until legions of opponents came forward, summarizes the dilemma facing all interested parties in his recent order (via the NY Times), taking the impending October 7 final settlement hearing off the calendar:
The current settlement agreement raises significant issues, as demonstrated not only by the number of objections, but also by the fact that the objectors include countries, states, nonprofit organizations, and prominent authors and law professors. Clearly, fair [...]

Sep 22, 2009 at 3:46pm ET by Barry Schwartz
In the wake of last Friday's objections to the Google Book lawsuit settlement, Google along with the two other parties that sued it, have asked the judge to delay further hearings on the settlement until an amended one can be put forth. Google, Authors Guild and the Association of American Publishers, made this request today in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
A copy of the request is here. For more background on the case, see our post from Friday: Department Of Justice Files Objections To Google Book Search Settlement. [...]

Department Of Justice Files Objections To Google Book Search Settlement
Sep 18, 2009 at 11:35pm ET by Danny Sullivan
As expected, the US Department Of Justice today has filed a list of objections and modifications it would like seen made in the proposed settlement to the Google Book Search lawsuit. It's not saying that the settlement should go back to square one. In fact, it suggests that "momentum" potentially could be lost to improve access to books if that happened. But it does want the settlement modified, in particular to protect absent rights holders of "orphan works" and to solve anti-trust concerns.
