74 OBJECTION TO PROPOSED SETTLEMENT: Google pursued its copying
project in calculated disregard of authors' rights. Its business plan was: "So, sue
me". To approve the proposed settlement would vindicate Google's street ethics:
that the law is whatever you can grab and get away with. Google's added twist −−
its update on the Dickensian street pickpocket −− is that if you take very little from
very many people, with a technological efficiency unimaginable to Fagan and
outsourced at a low cost that he would have envied, you have some real money.
Google's case should be referred to the U.S. Attorney for prosecution. Equal Justice
demands no less. Filed by Robert M. Kunstadt (jpo) (Entered: 03/31/2009)

313 BRIEF AMICUS CURIAE OF CONSUMER WATCHDOG IN OPPOSITION TO
THE PROPOSED SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT The proposed Settlement
Agreement would strip rights from millions of absent class members, worldwide,
in violation of national and international copyright law, for the sole benefit of
Google. If, as Google claims, its "limited" search−engine activities were protected
by fair use, the public deserves an adjudication on this matter, to allow the creation
of a competitive book−search market. And it is up to Congress to create a solution
to the orphan−works problem that would allow all potential users to benefit, while
protecting the copyright holders as well as international interests. The parties
simply cannot justify this "solution" which does not adequately protect the
Rightsholders and unfairly benefits a single party. Accordingly, Consumer
Watchdog respectfully asks that the Court not approve the settlement. (jmi)

today. The Settlement should be approved. But the New Services create serious
privacy concerns, and the Court must take affirmative action − as part of the
settlement approval − to protect reader privacy. (jmi) (Entered: 09/10/2009)

you wish to opt out of (either the Author Sub−Class or Publisher Sub−Class)," I

533 OBJECTION OF JIRO MAKINO AND IWAO KIDOKORO TO THE
PROPOSED SETTLEMENT AND TO CERTIFICATION OF THEPROPOSED
SETTLEMENT CLASS AND SUB−CLASSES The Settlement Agreement
contains serious defects in that it requires a decision which exceeds proper scope of
jurisdiction for the case and in that it ignores the global nature of the Internet (its
capacity that all of the users in the entire world can use it simultaneously). It
disregards the fact that works will be distributed in the entire world, and regards
the issue as a domestic issue within the U.S. Furthermore, the Settlement
Agreement focuses its scope only on a legal decision as to permissibility of
digitization of the subject works, and contains significant defects in that it ignores
the underlying issue of existing mode of "digital data search system." It fails to
acknowledge important issues of how to guarantee fairness and diversity of the
search by giving priority to economy without making sufficient consideration in
cultural diversity. As a result, it suffers from extreme bias of the search results. For
the reasons explained above, we respectfully request that the Court to reject the
Settlement Agreement or decline to certify the class with respect to Japanese or
foreign authors. (jmi) (Entered: 09/11/2009)

735 ORDER, that on September 22, 2009, plaintiffs moved for an adjournment of the
fairness hearing currently scheduled for October 7, 2009. Defendant Google, Inc.
does not oppose the motion. Under all the circumstances, it makes no sense to
conduct a hearing on the fairness and reasonableness of the current settlement
agreement, as it does not appear that the currentsettlement will be the operative
one. Accordingly, the Court will not proceed with the fairness hearing on October
7, 2009. The Court will, however, conduct a status conference on October 7 at 10
00 a.m. to determine how to proceed with the case as expeditiously as possible, as
this case has now been pending for over four years The parties shall attend.
Additional relief as set forth in this Order. (Signed by Judge Denny Chin on

779 MEMORANDUM DECISION denying 774 Motion for Reconsideration.
Amazon's motion for reconsideration is denied. Amazon may set forth its
arguments in its objections to the proposed settlement in conjunction with the final
settlement approval process. Amazon also requests that the Court amend its
preliminary approval order with regard to the mechanism by which objectors may
submit objections to the proposed settlement. The order provides that objectors
may now object only to amended terms of the settlement agreement, and that the
time for objecting to the original settlement terms has passed. The Court will
consider objections to the amended settlement in conjunction with
previously−submitted objections to the original settlement. Amazon asks that,
instead, objectors be permitted to withdraw their previous objections and to submit
superseding objections that relate to both the original and the amended settlement

terms. This request is denied, but to the extent that objectors find it necessary to
refer to their prior objections now to present "cohesive and accurate filings," they
may do so. (Signed by Judge Denny Chin on 12/1/09) (tro) (Entered: 12/02/2009)

the settlement. I am also the University Librarian and Dean of Libraries at the
University of Michigan, and was the Provost and Executive Vice−President of the
University at the time that Google began scanning the University's collections. In
my role as librarian I oversee the University of Michigan Press, a significant
academic publisher. As Provost and as Librarian I have been closely engages for
several years with the Google scanning project, and the aspects of the settlement
that have implication for participating libraries. As an active scholar and mender of
the author class, as an academic administrator, and as the head of a major research
library with responsibility for a university press, it is my strongly held opinion that
the settlement will be of great benefit to the general public and to scholarly practice
and progress. I would be most grateful for the opportunity to share these views
with the Court at the Fairness Hearing.(mbe) (Entered: 01/27/2010)

the Amended Settlement goes back for renegotiation, the minimum changes
required include a) limiting its scope to books published in the USA b) limiting its
scope to allowing Google to scan books for search purposes only and to display
snippets of strictly limited length, determined as a percentage of the whole work or
insert. c) treating all in−copyright books the same so that no book that is still in
copyright could be used in any way by Google without the express consent ofthe
copyright holder. This would remove all the problems associated with deciding if a
book is Not Commercially Available, remove the need for an unclaimed works
fiduciary and give all copyright holders the protection they are entitled to under
International Copyright Law. (pl) (Entered: 01/27/2010)

971 OPINION: #100080 In the end, I conclude that the ASA is not fair, adequate, and
reasonable. As the United States and other objectors have noted, may of the
concerns raised in the objections would be ameliorated if the ASA were converted
from an "opt−out" settlement to an "opt−in" settlement. I urge the parties to
consider revising the ASA accordingly. The motion for final approval of the ASA
is denied, without prejudice to renewal in the event the parties negotiate a revised
settlement agreement. The motion for an award of attorneys' fees and costs is
denied, without prejudice. The Court will hold a status conference on 4/25/2011, at
4:30 p.m. in Courtroom 11A of the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Courthouse. (Status
Conference set for 4/25/2011 at 04:30 PM in Courtroom 11A, 500 Pearl Street,

plaintiffs, both dated April 12, 2012. Google's request for leave to file a surreply is

expert reports in the Authors Guild plaintiffs' reply brief is noted and can be
addressed at oral argument. The motions to dismiss (in both cases) and the motion

1081 ORDER: The Court is in receipt of a letter from plaintiffs' counsel, dated August
28, 2013, requesting a two−week extension of the schedule for briefing and
argument of the parties' summary judgment motions. Defendant Google, Inc.
opposes this request. The request is granted in part and denied in part, as follows:
The deadline for plaintiffs to submit their reply brief is extended to Monday,
September 16, 2013. The request for adjournment of oral argument is denied. The
date of September 23, 2013 was set on July 8, 2013, more than five weeks ago. The
Court will not adjourn oral argument because new counsel in this eight−year old
litigation is unavailable on September 23rd because he will be attending a
conference on copyright law. (Replies due by 9/16/2013.) (Signed by Judge Denny
