Video Clips of Interest: Is Google Book Search "Fair Use"? By Lawrence Lessig http://www.youtube.com/watch.php?v=5l2nrbmBQXg * And... http://www.lessig.org/blog/archives/cease-and-desist_640.mov Blog: Google Book Search and the Transaction Costs of Consent By Randy Picker, The Faculty Blog, January 13, 2006 http://uchicagolaw.typepad.com/faculty/2006/01/google_book_sea.html "Larry Lessig posted this week a synchronized set of slides and audio addressing Google Book Search as fair use. The talk runs for 30 minutes but ultimately the core point is simple and I think relatively conventional: transactions costs matter for the scope of allowed fair use. The suggestion here is a transaction-cost based opt-out model: for low-cost of consent holders, GBS has to ask permission, but for high-cost of consent holders, GBS need not ask permission, but instead those holders have to opt out."
