As the proposed Google Book Search lawsuit settlement is debated, Ive read 
calls from various critics that everything should go back to square one 
for a solution. Would Google be willing to do this? Google CEO Eric 
Schmidt says hes open to ideas, but none of the critics are putting 
forward new solutions that would resolve the legal case that was filed 
against his company.

Im open to a better solution. You will recall, we had our solution, and we 
were sued over it. And we then had a-god-knows-how-many years of 
negotiations with 27 parties, and weve actually produced a deal, Schmidt 
said, when I spoke to him yesterday.

Google was sued for scanning books that were in copyright without 
permission of the copyright holders. Only short summaries of a few 
sentences in length from within the books were shown, and Googles view was 
that this was fair use.

We dont think we should be sued in the first place. Again, Im happy to be 
criticized. But the fact of the matter is we didnt sue them, they sued us, 
Schmidt said.

The settlement doesnt resolve the fair use question but instead sidesteps 
around it by granting Google far more rights than it has now. Its an 
expansive solution to what seemed a simple dispute over showing short 
summaries.

Quoting the article:


"I'd also suggest reading my Search Engines, Permissions & Moving Forward 
In Copyright Battles post to understand more of the history of the core 
issue, that of Google having scanned books to make them searchable but not 
actually reprinting those online."
