Google book scan contract gets federal court extension in case

Advertisement

NEW YORK — Google says it needs until Friday to come up with a new proposal that would give it the digital rights to millions of out-of-print books. The new timetable approved Monday by a federal judge is the latest twist in a 4-year-old copyright lawsuit over Google’s ambitious book-scanning project. Google thought it had settled the dispute with U.S. authors and publishers more than a year ago. But the agreement still hasn’t won court approval because of concerns that the deal would give Google too much control over the digital book market. When U.S. antitrust regulators raised objections to the agreement in September, Google decided to redo the deal. The revisions were supposed to be filed by the end of Monday — before Google received the extension.
