EU books may be removed from Google book settlement
By Paul Biba
According to The Bookseller, at the Frankfurt Book Fair one of the settlement’s chief architects said that the books may be removed. The Federation of European Publishers is saying that neither the US Authors Guild nor the Association of American Publishers has the authority to negotiate on behalf of their international counterparts.
Richard Sarnoff, of the AAP, said that the parties to the deal did not anticipate the backlash in Europe and may have to remove European works.
