Google Books settlement rejected by judge

I don't know how I feel about the judge rejecting the Google Books settlement. The settlement proposed had a lot to be concerned about, with publishers attacking the public domain, with Google profiting exclusively from the public domain, and not allowing old books to enter the public domain.

I guess it's a case of wait and see. Google and the publishers could make good changes to the settlement. The judge certainly criticizes the bad parts of the agreement. Hopefully this is good news.
