Wolfinthewood (whose LJ I read pretty religiously, and who I think is pretty cool) has put together a paper on the Google Book Settlement. It's downloadable in PDF format, and, I think, worth reading.

Again, I am not going to have a shouting match here. Be civil. And I will thank you kindly if you are nice and polite over at her place too. I offer this as FYI, and because I respect Wolf's opinions. She's spent a lot of time thinking about this, and has a great deal of critical analysis to offer.
