[Year 12 IT Apps] Copyright - Google settlement

[Roy Smalley]

Hi All,
 
I recently received the following message from Monash University MPA. I
encourage all authors to check the settlement website
http://www.googlebooksettlement.com (
http://www.googlebooksettlement.com/ ). Register your name and check
if any of your publications are listed - even if they were only self
published and distributed via libraries etc. I had one publication
listed that was only distributed to two Melbourne Libraries!
 
See the Monash Uni link below for more detailed information about the
Google Settlement.
 
Have you published a work prior to January 2009? — important info re
the Google Book Settlement 
The Google Book Settlement is an out-of-court settlement that resulted
from a class action filed by a consortium of copyright holder groups in
America on behalf of American authors and publishers for copyright
infringement by Google. Though the class action was decided in America
it nevertheless affects and applies to all authors and publishers
worldwide. 
All Monash authors are advised to go to the Settlement website,
register as an author and search for their works on the Settlement book
registry. 
For more information visit the University’s Copyright website (
http://www.copyright.monash.edu.au/googlebooksettlement.html ). Do
take note of the deadlines for action.
