Google Books Row Explained; stuff.co.nz, 11/23/09

Claire Mcentee, Dominion Post, via stuff.co.nz; Google Books Row Explained:

"Kiwi authors and publishers could still strike a deal with Google to sell digital copies of books, but say any arrangement with the internet search giant will be on their terms.

New Zealand has been left out of a proposed deal that will see Google scan and sell digital versions of out-of-print copyright protected books to people in the United States and give authors and publishers a cut of the proceeds."
