Google books settlement update

From CNet News:

Quote:

A revised settlement filed late on Friday over Google's rights to scan digital books narrows the scope of out-of-print works to English-speaking countries only, restricts the ways Google can make money from scanning and digitizing out-of-print books, and requires the registry to seek out copyright holders who do not come forward.
