Google cuts a deal with the EU over book scanning
This picture has nothing to do with this story.
The constant source of litigation, aka Google’s Book Scanning Project, may be reaching a peace treaty of sorts over in Europe. Under the terms of a proposed settlement with the EU and Google, Google will allow two non-Americans onto the review board that administers this program, and promises not to scan any books that are currently under copyright in the EU. Google is working with the Oxford Library and several other libraries to put these works online, but encountering resistance from authors, publishers and various other sorts of copyright groupies.
