Amended GBS Hearing On Tommorow As Planned, So Far

It looks as if the hearing on the Amended Google Book Settlement is going forward tomorrow as planned.  Though the usual suspects still object to Google's vision for making scanned titles available, and though the Department of Justice is still not happy with the terms, Google has notasked for more time to meet objections.  I can understand the position Google is taking.  No one will ever be satisfied with the terms when it's clear that objectors simply want to stop the Settlement from happening at all.  Maybe it is about time for the courts to act to resolve the objections or give guidance as to what is possible.  And then there will be the expected appeals.  It is about time for some clarity on which aspects of the Settlement are legal and which are not.  Too bad the hearing can't be broadcast.  We all know how the courts feel about that.  [MG]
