Department of Justice is scrutinis Google's book-search settlement
Saturday, 10th October 2009
The US Department of Justice is scrutinising whether Google's proposed book-search settlement with authors and publishers violates antitrust laws, according to sources. In recent weeks, the Department of Justice was in contact with Google and some of its critics to ask about the settlement.
The settlement is designed to give Google the right to include millions of additional works in its searchable archive of digitised books, known as the Google Book Search service. A spokesperson for the Department of Justice declined to comment.
