Academic Author Letter Opposing the Google Books Settlement (I Signed On)

I signed Pam Samuleson's marvelous Academic Author Letter setting out a number of flaws in the proposed Google Books settlement.

It's probably the best-drafted and most cogent group letter I've ever signed. And, wow, I'm in good company among the signatories.

It may not be to your taste, and you certainly may not want to make time, but if -- double negative! -- both should prove not to be the case, I recommend reading Vernor Vinge's Rainbows End, which can be bought at your preferred seller of books.

Ironically, Vernor made it available for free on a website for a very long time, but no longer.
