Google's recent attempt to settle with publishers for sole rights to
expired copyrights?
so that's what they were after !!!!! it's about as bad as copyrighting
plant cells ... once they control something they can put whatever
price they want on it ... disgusting!

Subject: [lace] Google Books expired copyrights
Can anyone comment on the potential copyright liability of sites
like the University of Arizona's weaving archive (which includes the
big lace archive) in view of Google's recent attempt to settle with
publishers for sole rights to expired copyrights? I know this isn't
final yet, but they are putting tremendous resources behind it and
have a good chance of success. What will happen to sites like this
one if this happens? Will they have to shut down? Are there any
lawyers out there who are following this?
I know I'd like to scan a few old works for my own site, but have no
idea of the potential impact here. Thanks.
Laurie
