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.

LETTER addressed to Office of the Clerk J. Michael McMahon from Diana Kimpton dated 1/10/10 re: that as a result of the within objections, I ask the court to refuse to certify the class and to reject the Amended Settlement Agreement. If the Amended Settlement goes back for renegotiation, the minimum changes required include a) limiting its scope to books published in the USA b) limiting its scope to allowing Google to scan books for search purposes only and to display snippets of strictly limited length, determined as a percentage of the whole work or insert. c) treating all in-copyright books the same so that no book that is still in copyright could be used in any way by Google without the express consent ofthe copyright holder. This would remove all the problems associated with deciding if a book is Not Commercially Available, remove the need for an unclaimed works fiduciary and give all copyright holders the protection they are entitled to under International Copyright Law.

I would be most grateful for the opportunity to share these views with the Court at the Fairness Hearing.(mbe)

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.

ORDER, that on September 22, 2009, plaintiffs moved for an adjournment of the fairness hearing currently scheduled for October 7, 2009. Defendant Google, Inc. does not oppose the motion. Under all the circumstances, it makes no sense to conduct a hearing on the fairness and reasonableness of the current settlement agreement, as it does not appear that the currentsettlement will be the operative one. Accordingly, the Court will not proceed with the fairness hearing on October 7, 2009. 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. Additional relief as set forth in this Order. (Signed by Judge Denny Chin on 9/24/09) (pl)

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)

LETTER addressed to Office of the Clerk from Petter Luthersson dated 8/31/2009 re: Counsel writes to object to the Settlement Agreement.

In addition, counsel wish to inform this Court that the written notice that our company received of the Settlement Agreement in Swedish was extremely difficult to read and included a number of meaningless or nonsensical terms and had obviously been translated very poorly.
