On Copyright policy

There has been an issue concerning copyright policy and e-books around the world..
How will that problem get solved?
Read here what Jonathan Band says:

On October 28, 2008, Google, the Authors Guild, and the Association of
American Publishers announced the settlement of the litigation concerning the Google
Library Project (http://books.google.com/booksrightsholders/agreementcontents.
html). Under the project, Google has been scanning into its search database
millions of books provided by major research libraries and other sources. For those
books not in the public domain, the publishers and authors claimed that Google’s
scanning infringed their copyrights. The settlement still requires the approval of the
presiding judge in the US district court in New York because the case was brought as a
class action on behalf of all affected rightsholders.
The settlement presents significant challenges and opportunities to libraries.
This paper does not explore the policy issues raised by the settlement. Rather, it outlines
the settlement’s provisions, with special emphasis on the provisions that apply directly
to libraries. The settlement is extremely complex (over 200 pages long, including
attachments), so this paper of necessity simplifies many of its details. This paper should
not be treated as legal advice, and libraries considering joining the settlement should
retain counsel to advise them on the settlement’s intricacies. Read more here
