More and more people are realizing that the proposed Google Books settlement could be bad news. Honestly, it's a mixed bag. There are some really good outcomes that could happen if Google digitizes all books ever. But the part of the settlement that gives Google the exclusive rights to any book that's unclaimed? That's really bad.
Luckily, the ALA and other awesome groups of freedom are taking action. Here's hoping they succeed in modifying the settlement to make it not suck, but still keep the good parts.
