Judge rejects Amazon bid to scrap Google pact; Reuters, 12/2/09

Reuters; Judge rejects Amazon bid to scrap Google pact:

"A federal judge has rejected Amazon.com Inc's request that he withdraw preliminary approval of a settlement between Google Inc and groups of authors and publishers to digitize millions of books.

In a Tuesday ruling, U.S. District Judge Denny Chin said he planned to conduct a "thorough fairness analysis" of the settlement at a February 18, 2010 hearing and Amazon could argue its case then."
