[Ansteorra] Google Books Settlement







I am posting this here because many of us have advanced degrees and/or 
write for publication. Google decided to scan all the books in the world 
and make them available to everyone.  They forgot about copywrite laws, 
however.  A group of writers sued, and now there is a settlement.  If you 
have a master's thesis, dissertation, or book, it is probably included. Go 
to www.googlebooksettlement.com and see.  My master's thesis and 
dissertation were listed, so I registered. Not only is this settlement 
going to provide a small payment to those whose books were used without 
permission, it will set up a copywrite database where you can license 
those rights more easily.  Of course, the cash available is after the 
lawyers take their share off the top, then divided by the number of works 
registered, so you won't be able to live it up with your share, but 
something is better than nothing.
Permission is granted to cross post to other lists.
