Judge Chin Says He Will Cut the Google Book Settlement

Posted by timothy on Thursday April 1, 2010 @11:42AM from the why-not-horizontally dept.

Miracle Jones writes "In a move that has shocked the publishing world, Judge Denny Chin has filed a brief saying that he has decided to cut the Google Book Settlement in half, letting Google host the first half of every book the company has scanned, and letting other interested stakeholders fight for the rights to the rest. 'We think this is a hard decision, but a fair one,' said John Peter Franks for Google. 'We would like to be able to host and control whole books, but at least we get the front half.'"

All of a sudden, this site is annoying. What's up with the SlashRoulette embedded crap?
Are you guys at SlashDot going ballistic? It would be sad to not want to log on here anymore due to some crap app that some geek idiot finds cool. Sad.
