James Grimmelmann is responsible for New York Law School's amicus brief regarding the Google book settlement.

Here are some excerpts.

"During the course of the interview, we also discovered several other troubling facts that makes an auction seem absolutely necessary: Google will have the right to manage the content of its scans in the same way that it manages YouTube videos, deleting content that it deems 'inappropriate' without any clear editorial guidelines. Since no one else has the right to put this literature up without being sued, the literature that Google deems 'inappropriate' will effectively be banned from the internet for decades until it becomes public domain."

"NOTE: As of this interview, the Internet Archive's bid to be included in Google's settlement as a party defendant has been struck down by the judge presiding over the settlement, sending a message to others who may want to try the same strategy."

Miguel Helft is reporting at The New York Times that the US Department of Justice is looking into antitrust aspects of the proposed Google book settlement.
