Carlos Osorio/Associated PressUpdated: March 24, 2011 Google Book Search is the ambitious plan to digitize every book — famous or not, in any language, published anywhere on earth — found in the world's libraries, as part of the company's core mission "to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful." But in March 2011, a federal judge in New York rejected the company's $125 million class-action settlement with authors and publishers, saying the deal went too far in granting Google rights to exploit books without permission from copyright owners. Given few attractive options, Google may take its battle to Congress, to promote a law that would make orphan works — books that are still under copyright but whose author or copyright owner cannot be found — widely available. Beginning in 2002 as a "secret books project," according to an official history at the Google site, Google Book Search became a planned multibillion-dollar effort that has had to overcome many obstacles, both the sheer effort of scanning so many pages of text as well as conforming to copyright laws. In 2004, Google started to team with many of the greatest library collections in the world — the New York Public Library, the University of Michigan, Harvard and Stanford, among others — to digitize their collections, paying the scanning costs. Google said it expected to scan 15 million books from those collections over the next decade. In October 2008, the company reached a settlement with authors and publishers to end a class-action lawsuit that challenged the legality of the scanning project. Under the agreement, Google offered to pay $125 million and create the framework for a new system that would channel payments from book sales, advertising revenue and other fees to authors and publishers, with Google collecting a cut. The $125 million would have compensated authors and publishers whose books are still under copyright and help find the copyright holders for so-called "orphan works," out-of-print books still within the law. These copyright holders, considered part of the class that settled with Google, are hard to find, since many never expected their works ever to be in print again. It is the resurrection of these works — making them available at the click of a mouse — that many consider among the greatest benefits of Google Book Search. That, and the millions of public domain works that would be easily searched and called up by computer users around world. The proposed settlement attracted opposition from various corners of the book world, and the Department of Justice opened an antitrust investigation. In September 2009, the Justice Department said the proposed legal settlement between Google and book authors and publishers should not be approved by the court without modifications. In November, Google and groups representing book publishers and authors filed a modified version of their controversial books settlement with a federal court. The changes would have paved the way for other companies to license Google's vast digital collection of copyrighted out-of-print books, and might have skomentuj
