The Association of American Publishers (AAP) and Google today announced a settlement agreement that will provide access to publishers’ in-copyright books and journals digitized by Google for its Google Library Project. The dismissal of the lawsuit will end seven years of litigation.
The agreement settles a copyright infringement lawsuit filed against Google on October 19, 2005 by five AAP member publishers. As the settlement is between the parties to the litigation, the court is not required to approve its terms.
The settlement acknowledges the rights and interests of copyright-holders. US publishers can choose to make available or choose to remove their books and journals digitized by Google for its Library Project. Those deciding not to remove their works will have the option to receive a digital copy for their use.

The framework agreement was announced on Monday between the Syndicat National de l’Edition (National Syndicate of Publishers), the Société des Gens de Lettres (SGDL) and Google, constituting a hard fought victory for the whole of the online book market ...
...and a first step towards the recognition of the need for the protection of cultural and artistic heritage.
After six years of dispute with Google, a framework agreement has been established, aiming to regulate and indexation of works unavailable for sale in paper versions (out of commerce books) and still under copyright. From now on, Google will only be able to digitize and exploit works with the agreement of the French publishers concerned.
This initiative constitutes a step forward in the spread of the e-book and the diversity of creation, as well as the respect of copyright.

How Big Is the Size of the Market for Passive Use?

ByRobert Henson, paca president (2010 - 2012)How big is our industry? Perhaps it is as big as we want to envision it.
In the mid-nineteenth century, a Parisian composer stopping in to a café heard a tune he wrote performed live by the house band. He refused to pay for his drink, stating that he himself didn’t receive compensation from the café owner for the use of his music, which drew clientele. There was a suit in the French courts, and the government’s decision fell to the composer—a triumph for copyright. Equally if not more important, the government instituted an office that administered royalties for all performances to copyright holders.

Interior of the House of Lords c. 1896 Source: Topfoto
BySylvie FodorOn 1 November, at a hearing held at the House of Commons in the UK, Ben White of the British Library said how CEPIC would be feeding images into the Arrow project. Here is an opportunity to clarify what ARROW is and what CEPIC and ARROW do together.
The full hearing of the Business, Innovation and Skills Committee of the House of Commons has been recorded. It is available on the website of the UK Parliament [Please listen from minutes 10.00 for above mentioned declaration]
Ben White's statement on how "CEPIC will feed images into ARROW" is too simple to be accurate.
