European Union Bolsters Opposition To Settlement 2.0

Negative international reaction to Google Books Settlement 2.0 continues to grow as European Union ministers recently agreed to move forward with plans to develop an alternative to Google Books.

French Culture Minister Frederic Mitterand said, “”It’s not up to this or that private group to decide policy on an issue as important as the digitization of our global heritage. I’m not going to leave this issue up to simple laissez-faire.”

European critics have protested Google’s plans because of anti-trust, privacy and copyright concerns.

Opposition to Settlement 2.0 will continue to mount over the next several weeks leading up to the January 28 deadline for public comment.
