Google Books: Legal Eagles Carry On… Er, Carrion
July 2, 2009
It is official. an investigation of Google Books is stumbling forward. You can get “D” word on this by reading DOJ Confirms Antitrust Investigation Into Google Book Settlement. Will this be Google’s Salamis? Exciting times for the Google, those who are parties to the signed contract, those who are excluded, those who are fearful, and those who don’t see what the Google has been doing for more than a decade. As I said in my study The Google Legacy, “Lawyers can kill the GOOG.” Was I prescient? Just plain wrong? We’ll know in three or four years I suppose.
