December 1, 2009	Filing 779 MEMORANDUM DECISION denying 774 Motion for Reconsideration. Amazon's motion for reconsideration is denied. Amazon may set forth its arguments in its objections to the proposed settlement in conjunction with the final settlement approval process. Amazon also requests that the Court amend its preliminary approval order with regard to the mechanism by which objectors may submit objections to the proposed settlement. The order provides that objectors may now object only to amended terms of the settlement agreement, and that the time for objecting to the original settlement terms has passed. The Court will consider objections to the amended settlement in conjunction with previously-submitted objections to the original settlement. Amazon asks that, instead, objectors be permitted to withdraw their previous objections and to submit superseding objections that relate to both the original and the amended settlement terms. This request is denied, but to the extent that objectors find it necessary to refer to their prior objections now to present "cohesive and accurate filings," they may do so.

The Court will, however, conduct a status conference on October 7 at 10 00 a.m. to determine how to proceed with the case as expeditiously as possible, as this case has now been pending for over four years The parties shall attend.

Filing 971 OPINION: #100080 In the end, I conclude that the ASA is not fair, adequate, and reasonable. As the United States and other objectors have noted, may of the concerns raised in the objections would be ameliorated if the ASA were converted from an "opt-out" settlement to an "opt-in" settlement. I urge the parties to consider revising the ASA accordingly. The motion for final approval of the ASA is denied, without prejudice to renewal in the event the parties negotiate a revised settlement agreement. The motion for an award of attorneys' fees and costs is denied, without prejudice. The Court will hold a status conference on 4/25/2011, at 4:30 p.m. in Courtroom 11A of the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Courthouse. (Status Conference set for 4/25/2011 at 04:30 PM in Courtroom 11A, 500 Pearl Street, New York, NY 10007 before Judge Denny Chin.)

Filing 779 MEMORANDUM DECISION denying 774 Motion for Reconsideration. Amazon's motion for reconsideration is denied. Amazon may set forth its arguments in its objections to the proposed settlement in conjunction with the final settlement approval process. Amazon also requests that the Court amend its preliminary approval order with regard to the mechanism by which objectors may submit objections to the proposed settlement. The order provides that objectors may now object only to amended terms of the settlement agreement, and that the time for objecting to the original settlement terms has passed. The Court will consider objections to the amended settlement in conjunction with previously-submitted objections to the original settlement. Amazon asks that, instead, objectors be permitted to withdraw their previous objections and to submit superseding objections that relate to both the original and the amended settlement terms. This request is denied, but to the extent that objectors find it necessary to refer to their prior objections now to present "cohesive and accurate filings," they may do so.

Filing 533 OBJECTION OF JIRO MAKINO AND IWAO KIDOKORO TO THE PROPOSED SETTLEMENT AND TO CERTIFICATION OF THEPROPOSED SETTLEMENT CLASS AND SUB-CLASSES The Settlement Agreement contains serious defects in that it requires a decision which exceeds proper scope of jurisdiction for the case and in that it ignores the global nature of the Internet (its capacity that all of the users in the entire world can use it simultaneously). It disregards the fact that works will be distributed in the entire world, and regards the issue as a domestic issue within the U.S. Furthermore, the Settlement Agreement focuses its scope only on a legal decision as to permissibility of digitization of the subject works, and contains significant defects in that it ignores the underlying issue of existing mode of "digital data search system." It fails to acknowledge important issues of how to guarantee fairness and diversity of the search by giving priority to economy without making sufficient consideration in cultural diversity. As a result, it suffers from extreme bias of the search results. For the reasons explained above, we respectfully request that the Court to reject the Settlement Agreement or decline to certify the class with respect to Japanese or foreign authors. (jmi)

Although the settlement notice claims that, "your opt-out request.., must state which Sub-Class you wish to opt out of (either the Author Sub-Class or Publisher Sub-Class)," I believe that this is both incorrect and improper: Since I am opting out of the proposed settlement, I am not subject to its purported division of the proposed class into sub-classes.

Filing 314 BRIEF AMICUS CURIAE OF THE CENTER FOR DEMOCRACY & TECHNOLOGY IN SUPPORT OF APPROVAL OF THE SETTLEMENT AND PROTECTION OF READER PRIVACY The New Services enabled by the Proposed Settlement will be extraordinarily valuable, and will make available to the public a vast amount of knowledge and information that is largely inaccessible today. The Settlement should be approved. But the New Services create serious privacy concerns, and the Court must take affirmative action - as part of the settlement approval - to protect reader privacy.

September 9, 2009

Filing 313 BRIEF AMICUS CURIAE OF CONSUMER WATCHDOG IN OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT The proposed Settlement Agreement would strip rights from millions of absent class members, worldwide, in violation of national and international copyright law, for the sole benefit of Google. If, as Google claims, its "limited" search-engine activities were protected by fair use, the public deserves an adjudication on this matter, to allow the creation of a competitive book-search market. And it is up to Congress to create a solution to the orphan-works problem that would allow all potential users to benefit, while protecting the copyright holders as well as international interests. The parties simply cannot justify this "solution" which does not adequately protect the Rightsholders and unfairly benefits a single party. Accordingly, Consumer Watchdog respectfully asks that the Court not approve the settlement. (jmi)
