i think the concern is that the settlement could give
_only_ Google the right to scan orphaned works, and no
one else. that certainly wouldn't help libraries.
Yes, that is what I am hearing too. Google has all but gotten the
right to digitize orphan works to the exclusion of others like
libraries or the Internet Archive.
