Claire Cain Miller, New York Times; Book Ruling Cuts Options for Google:
"Advocates of open access to orphan works cheered the rejection of the settlement, saying it could pave the way for legislation that would let anyone — not just Google — use the books...
Google has endorsed such legislation in the past, and people briefed on the negotiations said they expected Google to now aggressively pursue it in Congress."

A Digital Library Better Than Google’s; New York Times, 3/23/11
Robert Darnton, New York Times; A Digital Library Better Than Google’s:
"Perhaps Google itself could be enlisted to the cause of the digital public library. It has scanned about 15 million books; two million of that total are in the public domain and could be turned over to the library as the foundation of its collection. The company would lose nothing by this generosity, and might win admiration for its good deed."
