State Attorney Generals and American Library Association concerned over Google settlement

[B.R.Stateham]

Yahoo has two stories out about several US state Attorney Generals looking into the Google Settlement. It also has a story on the American Library Association wanting the Feds to closely monitor the Google Settlement. They're thinking that, basically, Google is setting up a monopoly on the acquistion of all these books and to access them, libraries are going to have to cough up some hefty change to pay for them

Did I not say this battle was far from over?

[B.R.Stateham]

I think the real fighting in the trenches is just about ready to begin.

You did say that, B.R., and correctly so. In the 90s, Microsoft was the tech monopoly of issue. In the 2000s, it's Google.

In the words of a Charles Bronson-esque character in a Simpsons episode, "This ain't ova."
