Document 1 of 1 THE PERFECT IS THE ENEMY OF THE GOOD: THE ANTITRUST OBJECTIONS TO THE GOOGLE BOOKS SETTLEMENT Author: Lao, Marina Publication info: Antitrust Law Journal 78. 2 (2012): 397-442. ProQuest document link Abstract: In 2004, in keeping with its corporate mission to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful, Google began an ambitious book search project aimed at creating an online searchable database of all of the world's books. Google did not obtain permission from the rightsholders of each book, maintaining that its actions constituted fair use. A group of authors and publishers disagreed and brought a class action lawsuit against Google alleging copyright infringement. After extended negotiations, the parties reached a proposed settlement agreement that went beyond the scope of the pleadings to create a business framework that would allow Google, not only to scan and display snippets, but to sell access to entire copyrighted works in its database. After some revisions, the parties filed a proposed Amended Settlement Agreement (ASA). The ASA triggered many objections from Google's competitors, the Department of Justice, some rightsholders, and others. The author will set aside the class action and copyright issues in this article and focus on the assessment of the ASA under antitrust law and policy.
