Google Working to Revise Digital Books Settlement

For months, Google and its partners in a class-action settlement that 
would allow the company to create a vast digital library appeared unmoved 
by a rising tide of opposition.

Google and its settlement partners  the Authors Guild and the Association 
of American Publishers  argued that the agreement would not harm 
competition, and said they were confident that it would be approved in its 
current form by a federal court.

But the Justice Department, in a filing on Friday, made clear that the 
parties were busily negotiating modifications that would address some of 
the concerns raised. Those negotiations are likely to accelerate now that 
the Justice Department has said that it too believes the settlement raises 
serious legal issues and has urged the court not to approve it without 
changes.

Legal experts say the new round of discussions, and the governments 
intervention, are almost certain to delay an agreement that Google and the 
other parties were eager to see ratified quickly.

The news out of this is that there are frantic negotiations going on in 
back rooms right now, said James Grimmelmann, an associate professor at 
the Institute for Information Law and Policy at New York Law School, which 
raised antitrust and other objections to the settlement. The parties are 
scared enough to be talking seriously about changes, with each other and 
the government. The government is being the stern parent making them do 
it.
