U.C. Professors Air Google Book Search Settlement Concerns; eWeek.com, 8/17/09

Clint Boulton via eWeek.com; U.C. Professors Air Google Book Search Settlement Concerns:

"Eighteen faculty members for the University of California say they are concerned about the Google Book Search settlement. Though the professors aren't opposing the deal, they are seeking changes that will prevent price-gouging, as well as mechanisms to let academic authors of orphan books license their books to the public domain or Creative Commons. They also share the privacy concerns voiced earlier by the ACLU and EFF."
