  • Joint PUBLIC FAQ
    Joint PUBLIC FAQ 1. Why did the Class Plaintiffs, the Authors Guild, Association of American Publishers (AAP), and Google come to an agreement? This agreement will enable us to do more together than copyright owners and Google could have done alone or through a court ruling. Our agreement promises to benefit readers and researchers, and to enhance the ability of authors and publishers to distribute their content in digital form, by significantly expanding online access to works through Google Book Search. It also acknowledges the rights and interests of copyright owners, provides an efficient means for them to control how their intellectual property is accessed online and enables them to receive compensation for online access to their works. The agreement will open new opportunities for everyone - authors, publishers, libraries, Google, and readers. 2. If approved by the court, what will the settlement offer? If approved, the settlement would provide: • MORE ACCESS TO OUT-OF-PRINT BOOKS -- Generating greater exposure for millions of in-copyright works, including hard-to-find out-of-print books, by enabling readers in the U.S. to search these works and preview them online; • ADDITIONAL WAYS TO PURCHASE COPYRIGHTED BOOKS -- Building off publishers’ and authors’ current efforts and further expanding the electronic market for copyrighted books in the U.S., by offering users the ability to purchase online access to many in-copyright books; • INSTITUTIONAL SUBSCRIPTIONS TO MILLIONS OF BOOKS ONLINE -- Offering a means for U.S. colleges, universities and other organizations to obtain subscriptions for online access to collections from some of the world’s most renowned libraries; • FREE ACCESS FROM U.S.

  • The Google Book Search Project and Settlement
    The Google Book Settlement (GBS) – Impacts from a European perspective Report from the Commission for the Education, Youth and Culture and for the Competitiveness Council 27 November 2009 1) Background Both the Education Youth and Culture Council of 12 May 2009 and the Competitiveness Council of 28 May 2009 dealt with the Google Books Settlement (the "Settlement" or the "GBS"). Member States invited the Commission to assess possible impacts of the GBS on European owners of copyright, cultural diversity and competition in Europe and to report back in due course. This note responds to the Council's request. Since then, the parties have revised their initial Settlement. An amended agreement was submitted to the US District Court, Southern District of New Your on November 13, 2009. The Court will set a new timeline, which will likely include a fresh notice period and a new objection period. A Final Fairness hearing in now expected for early 2010. 2) The Google Book Settlement The GBS is a US class action agreement reached on 28 October 2008 between the Authors Guild and the Association of American Publishers and Google. It stems from a 2005 lawsuit brought against Google by US publishers and authors on the grounds that Google was infringing their copyright by digitising and showing snippets of books contained in US library collections without seeking their prior authorisation (Google Library Project). The aim of this project is to create a vast distribution platform for the books contained in these libraries’ collections, many of them out-of-print, by making them searchable and available online.

  • The Authors Guild, AAP, Google Settlement
    The Authors Guild, AAP, Google Settlement: An Interview with Michael Healy, Executive Director of the Book Industry Study Group and expected Executive Director of the Book Rights Registry KENNEALLY: Authors and publishers in the United States and around the world have followed with interest the class action suit for copyright infringement brought against Google in 2005 by the Authors Guild and Association of American Publishers. Last fall, the parties announced a proposed settlement, and today we hear for the first time from a man whose expected next job will be to make that agreement a reality. On behalf of Copyright Clearance Center, welcome everyone. My name is Christopher Kenneally. As director of Author Relations here at CCC, I have the great pleasure to introduce Michael Healy, who is currently executive director of the Book Industry Study Group. Michael, thanks for joining me. HEALY: Thank you very much for inviting me, Chris. KENNEALLY: It’s a pleasure to have you here today, and here at the offices of Copyright Clearance Center near Boston, it’s a beautiful June day outside but I know you’re looking well ahead into the future. You can see dates in October and September and further even, beyond all of that, all approaching rather quickly. So let’s talk about the proposed settlement, where it’s going to take you and authors and publishers everywhere. First of all, let’s help everyone understand better the arrangement that you’re currently working under. In May, the Book Industry Study Group announced an agreement with the Authors Guild and AAP, which will have BISG provide services to support the establishment of the Book Rights Registry, and with you, as the director of the BISG, devoting about half time to BRR issues.

    UC and the Google Book Settlement: Frequently Asked Questions • What will the Settlement mean for UC? • What happens to public domain works? • What happens to in-copyright works that are in-print? • What are the benefits to faculty as users? • What are the benefits to faculty as authors (rightsholders)? • What are the implications for authors (rightsholders) of opting out of the Settlement, and why might I want to do this? • What if I want to provide broader use rights for my books – for example, to make them freely available? • Libraries own these books in their collections – shouldn’t the libraries be able to make the digital versions available to users everywhere, for free, just as the books themselves are? • If Libraries can’t make the digital versions of in-copyright books available for free under the Settlement, what can they do with them? • Will libraries discard books that have been digitized? • Why did Harvard “pull out”? • What would be the consequences for UC if we “pulled out”? • What about the view that Google will have a monopoly? • Does Google alone benefit from legal protection for orphan works? • What if the price of the institutional subscription becomes unaffordable? • How can libraries be for open access and support restrictive access? What will the Settlement mean for UC? The current UC-Google digitization agreement would have to be amended to bring it into compliance with provisions of the Settlement. The details are still to be negotiated, but UC expects at least the following will be included in a revised agreement: • As a fully participating library (i.e., one that digitizes in-copyright material and will retain a local digital copy), UC will o Digitize an increased number of UC volumes; currently 2.5M volumes.

    ______________________________________________________________________________ Before the Copyright Office Library of Congress In the Matter of ) ) Mass Digitization Pilot Program ) Docket No. 2015–3 ) Comments of the Authors Guild Submitted by Mary Rasenberger, Executive Director The Authors Guild submits this statement on behalf of its over 9,000 members in response to the Copyright Office’s Request for Comments on a limited mass digitization pilot program. Our members represent the broad sweep of American authorship. They are historians whose work depends upon access to records of the lives and events of the past. They are novelists whose inventions extend our literary traditions. They are rural and urban, translators and poets, Pulitzer Prize-winners and neophytes. They are the authors of every conceivable type of book. Most of these books have been subject to mass digital copying: indeed, the unauthorized, wholesale copying of these works was the subject of two kindred copyright infringement lawsuits, Authors Guild v. Google and Authors Guild v. HathiTrust. As explained in our testimony to the House Judiciary Committee on the Preservation and Reuse of Copyrighted Works,1 we believe that a collective licensing solution to the mass digitization of 1 Preservation and Reuse of Copyrighted Works: Hearing Before the Subcomm. On Courts, Intellectual Property, & the Internet of the H. Comm. Of the Judiciary, 113th Cong. 81 (2014) (statement of Jan Constantine, General Counsel, Authors Guild, Inc.), available at 1 literary works is not only proper, it is possible. An extended collective licensing solution is particularly suitable because it provides for the ability to obtain a broad license, while allowing for an opt-out.

As payment, Google gave the libraries digital copies of the books. Google makes the books’ full text searchable on its revenue-generating search engine, and displays verbatim excerpts in response to users’ searches. The questions presented are: 1. Whether, in order to be “transformative” under the fair-use exception to copyright, the use of the copyrighted work must produce “new expression, meaning, or message,” as this Court stated in Campbell and as the Third, Sixth, and Eleventh Circuits have held, or whether the verbatim copying of works for a different, non-expressive purpose can be a transformative fair use, as the Second, Fourth, and Ninth Circuits have held. 2. Whether the Second Circuit’s approach to fair use improperly makes “transformative purpose” the decisive factor, replacing the statutory four-factor test, as the Seventh Circuit has charged.

  • Hothitrust a Research Library at Web Scale
    55(2) LRTS 93 HothiTrust A Research Library at Web Scale Heather Christenson Research libraries have a mission to build collections that will meet the research needs of their user communities over time, to curate these collections to ensure perpetual access, and to facilitate intellectual and physical access to these col­ lections as effectively as pOSSible. Recent mass digitization projects as well as finanCial pressures and limited space to store print collections have created a new environment and new challenges for large research libraries. This paper will describe one approach to these challenges: HathiTrust, a shared digital repOSitory owned and operated by a partnership of more than forty major libraries. The activities of research libraries in the next five to 10 years will define the role of libraries in the digital age.
