Judge Rejects Google Book Settlement

The New York Times reports on the NY court case that tossed out the "$125 million class-action settlement with authors and publishers, delivering a blow to the company's ambitious plan to build the world's largest digital library and bookstore." The court battles aren't over, but it will be interesting to see what Google's next moves will be. You can also read the decision if you'd like.

On a selfish test note, it will be interesting to see how long the above link to the NYT article will work and provide full text access to the article, given their decision to change access options. Supposedly, "Readers who come to Times articles through links from search, blogs and social media like Facebook and Twitter will be able to read those articles, even if they have reached their monthly reading limit." So I'll be checking the link after March 28 to see.
