Week 4 (February 18): Google Books settlement

Tom Rubin

The Google Books project promised to enliven moribund works, create massive utility, and depressurize the copyright system. Copyright owners disagreed and sued, but the parties soon turned to quietly crafting a sweeping, lasting, and amicable resolution that took the world by storm. We will study the process, structure, and terms of the complex settlement. Guest: Joseph Gratz, Partner at Durie Tangri
