Case No. 05 CV 8136-JES MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN SUPPORT OF MOTION ON CONSENT FOR APPROVAL OF CLAIM FORMS ECF CASE
Counsel for the Author Sub-Class and counsel for the Publisher Sub-Class ("Counsel"), with the consent of counsel for Google Inc., submit this motion, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(e), for approval of the Claim Forms for the Settlement Class. 1. This is a class action in which plaintiffs allege that Google violated the
copyrights of authors, publishers and other owners of U.S. copyrights in books and other writings by digitizing them, creating an electronic database of books, and displaying short excerpts without the copyright owners' permission.
Dockets.Justia.com
2.
A proposed settlement of the lawsuit (the "Settlement") was reached on
behalf of a class of all owners of U.S. "Copyright Interests" in "Books" and "Inserts" published on or before January 5, 2009, as those terms are defined in the Settlement Agreement. 3. Judge Sprizzo preliminarily approved the Settlement in an Order dated
November 14, 2008. See Exhibit A (the "Preliminary Approval Order"). The substantial benefits the Settlement offers to class members and to the public are more fully described in pages 8 through 13 of the memorandum of law filed in support of Plaintiffs' Motion for Preliminary Settlement Approval. 4. To assure the best notice practicable of this Settlement to class members
around the world, a comprehensive, multi-national Notice program has been established. This Notice program includes the publication of a summary notice in 375 publications, the emailing and/or mailing of a long form notice to many thousands of potential class members, and the creation of a claims website and paper claim forms (each translated into dozens of languages). 5. Paragraph 16 of the Preliminary Approval Order provides that the date on
which Notice shall commence is January 5, 2009. Paragraph 18 provides that all publication and other Notice must be completed by February 27, 2009. Paragraph 21 provides that the Opt-Out Deadline will be May 5, 2009. Paragraph 10 provides that the Final Fairness Hearing will be held on June 11, 2009.

The Reason for the Request to Approve the Claim Forms 6. At the time the Preliminary Approval Order was submitted to the Court,
the parties still were developing the details of the claiming process and Claim Forms. Accordingly, paragraph 14 of the Preliminary Approval Order requires that, before dissemination of the Notice to the Settlement Class can begin on January 5, 2009, "Class Counsel shall submit to the Court for approval as to form and content the Claim Forms to be included with the Notice." See Exhibit A, ¶ 14. 7. It is appropriate to analyze the form and content of the Claim Forms under
the standards that govern notice under Rule 23. Although they are distinct from the Notice, the Claim Forms also should, to a certain extent, "fairly apprise the prospective members of the class of the terms of the proposed settlement and of the options that are open to them in connection with the proceedings." Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. v. Visa U.S.A. Inc., 396 F.3d 96, 114 (2d Cir. 2005) (quotation, citation omitted). The standard to be applied is one of "reasonableness." Id. at 113. 8. The proposed Claim Forms are eminently fair and reasonable in both their
paper and online forms because they capture and convey, in a clear and concise manner, the options available to class members under the Settlement. The proposed Claim Forms provide an efficient mechanism by which class members can identify their works, claim Cash Payments and manage their Books and Inserts, including the ability to choose whether to exclude a particular Book from Display Uses or Remove that Book from all uses by Google. The proposed Claim Forms also contain contact information for Class
3
Counsel and the claims administrator, so that class members can obtain additional information about the Settlement. 9. In addition, the proposed Claim Forms will be translated into more than 30
languages and be made available worldwide, in both paper and online versions. 10. Accordingly, Counsel respectfully request that paper claim forms and
website claiming screens be approved, as to form and content, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibits B and C. Counsel have worked extensively with Rust Consulting, Inc., a highly experienced claims administrator (the "Settlement Administrator"), in creating these forms. Counsel have also worked extensively with Google, to create the online claiming process, which the Settlement Administrator will maintain with technical support and hosting provided by Google Inc. 11. Counsel for Google has authorized the undersigned to state that Google
Inc. supports this motion.
4
For the foregoing reasons, Counsel respectfully request that the Court approve for distribution to the Settlement Class, in substantially their current form and content, the Claim Forms attached as Exhibits B (paper) and C (website).

2. all of the books and Inserts, if United States works, were registered with the United States Copyright Office on or before January 5, 2009 (and, if Inserts from United States works, the works, alone or as part of another work, were registered by such date), 3. use of any Inserts claimed required publisher's permission and publisher did not give permission for their online use after June 1, 2003, and

You do not need to do anything further at this time. The Settlement Administrator will contact you: 1. with a report of the Commercial Availability classification of publisher's Books (and, if publisher disagrees, how it can take steps to challenge the classification of publisher's Books); 2. if it needs further information from publisher; 3. if any of publisher's Books or Inserts are eligible for a Cash Payment; 4. if there are other claimants to the Books and Inserts that publisher has claimed; and 5. to discuss any other rights and options publisher may have with regard to publisher's claimed Books and Inserts. It will take considerable time for the Settlement benefits to become available. Please be patient, and visit www.googlebooksettlement.com for updates.
The easiest way to claim and manage publisher's Books and Inserts is online at www.googlebooksettlement.com.
