CECILIA KANG OF "THE WASHINGTON POST," WHAT IS THE GOEBEL BOOK SETTLEMENT? |
| 00:00:40 |
|
DE GOOGLE BOOK SETTLEMENT IS PART OF A YEARLONG LEGAL BATTLE BETWEEN GOOGLE AND PUBLISHERS AND AUTHORS... |
| 00:02:03 |
|
WHAT WAS GOOGLE'S OUR ORIGINAL MOTIVE? |
| 00:02:05 |
|
THE ORIGINAL MOTIVE IS ALONG THE LINES OF THEIR MISSION, WHICH IS USERS OF THE INTERNET TO ACCESS ANY... |
| 00:02:39 |
|
WAS THERE A PROFIT MOTIVE? |
| 00:02:42 |
|
CERTAINLY, AND THIS IS GETS INTERESTING. IT INTERSECTS CONSUMER USE, LEGAL CONCERNS AND REGULATORY... |
| 00:04:58 |
|
AND WE WILL TALK ABOUT THAT. FIRST THE WINDED GOOGLE START THIS PROJECT, WHEN DID LAWSUITS START,... |
| 00:05:07 |
|
LET'S START FROM THE BEGINNING. GOOGLE WAS A DISTORTED FROM THE VERY BEGINNING FROM WHEN GOOGLE WAS... |
| 00:05:56 |
|
WHO DID THIS? |
| 00:05:57 |
|
GOOGLE STARTED SCANNING. |
| 00:05:59 |
|
IN MOUNTAIN VIEW CALIFORNIA? |
| 00:06:02 |
|
EXACTLY. WITH THEIR TECHNOLOGY. AND WHAT THEY DID IS THEY WOULD -- THE PARTNERED WITH A LOT OF LIBRARIES... |
| 00:07:09 |
|
AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF PUBLISHERS, THE AUTHORS GUILT. |
| 00:07:14 |
|
THE TITANS OF THE PUBLISHING WORLD AND AUTHORS WORLD SAID WHAT ARE DOING? YOU CAN'T BE DOING THIS,... |
| 00:10:54 |
|
OKAY, SO IF YOU GO TO THE GOOGLE BOOK SEARCH WHAT DO YOU FIND? |
| 00:10:58 |
|
YOU FIND 10 MILLION BOOKS ALREADY SCANNED. |
| 00:11:02 |
|
10 MILLION? ALL PREVIOUS TO 1923 AT THIS POINT? |
| 00:11:08 |
|
IT'S A MIX. ABOUT 2 MILLION OR BEFORE 1923. 2 MILLION OUR BOOKS THAT GOOGLE HAS CONTRACT WITH THE... |
| 00:12:19 |
|
WHAT ABOUT NEW BOOKS? |
| 00:12:20 |
|
NEW BOOKS ARE IN PRINT SO THESE WILL NOT BE PART OF THE DISPUTE. |
| 00:12:25 |
|
COULD SIMON SHUSTER HARPER COLLINS MEGADEAL WITH GOOGLE AND SAY YES AND HAVE PUBLISHERS STARTED DOING... |
| 00:12:31 |
|
ABSOLUTELY -- |
| 00:12:32 |
|
SEPARATE FROM THIS |
| 00:12:34 |
|
EXACTLY. IT IS A COMPLICATED ISSUE THAT THE AGREEMENT ONLY COVERS ABOUT 60% OF ALL OF THE BOOKS THAT... |
| 00:13:06 |
|
SARAH PALIN -- |
| 00:13:07 |
|
SARAH PALIN'S NEW LOOK AS WELL. GOOGLE COULD BE WORKING WITH HER PUBLISHERS, ON-LINE PUTTING A 20%... |
| 00:13:29 |
|
WOULD THESE PUBLISHERS TODAY ON THE NEW BOOKS MIGHT THEY ALSO BE MAKING SIDE DEALS WITH MICROSOFT... |
| 00:13:37 |
|
ABSOLUTELY, SURE -- |
| 00:13:39 |
|
SO THIS WOULD NOT BE EXCLUSIVE TO GOOGLE? |
| 00:13:42 |
|
EXACTLY. IT'S NOT EXCLUSIVE TO GOOGLE. WHAT'S HAPPENING CURRENTLY WITH BOOKS COMING OUT OR ARE IN... |
| 00:13:56 |
|
ARE THOSE COPYRIGHT PROTECTED OR BOOK SEARCH? |
| 00:14:00 |
|
THEY ARE NOT COPYRIGHTED BECAUSE IT IS BEFORE 1923, BUT THEY ARE STILL IN PRINT WHICH MEANS -- WELL,... |
| 00:14:48 |
|
NOT A LOT OF DEMAND? |
| 00:14:49 |
|
I'M SORRY TO SAY, DAD, A FEW HUNDRED PEOPLE HAVE READ IT OR MAYBE MORE. THAT'S THE KIND OF BOOK THAT... |
| 00:15:55 |
|
WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE, CECILIA KANG, OF 1923? |
| 00:16:00 |
|
I DON'T KNOW THE IMPORTANCE -- I THINK THAT MIGHT BE -- I DON'T WANT TO SPECULATE BUT THAT IS BUCK... |
| 00:16:19 |
|
BEFORE THAT MARK TWAIN WAS RIDING. WHERE DOES HE FALL INTO THIS GLOBAL BOOK SETTLEMENT? |
| 00:16:25 |
|
IF YOU GO TO YOUR LOCAL BOOKSTORE YOU PROBABLY SEE MAYBE PENGUIN OR I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY MAYBE SIMON... |
| 00:17:19 |

| 00:17:38 |

| 00:18:08 |
|
AND THAT IS DENNEY CHIN? |
| 00:18:10 |
|
THAT'S RIGHT. SO HE RECEIVED THE COMMENT FOR THE REVISED SETTLEMENT AND IT WOULD SEEM THIS REVISED... |
| 00:20:27 |
|
OKAY. WHO IS ON WHAT SIDE? |
| 00:20:29 |
|
SHORT, GREAT QUESTION. THERE'S LOTS OF SLIDES, PETER. THAT'S WHY THIS HAS BECOME SUCH AN INTERESTING... |
| 00:20:56 |
|
INTO THE GOOGLE CORNER. |
| 00:20:59 |
|
THE GOOGLE CORNER BECAUSE THE HALF OF IT IN PLACE THEY WANT TO BE APPROVED BY JUDGE DENNEY CHIN SO... |
| 00:23:41 |
|
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE COMING U.S. COPYRIGHT OFFICE, BOTH VERY ACTIVE ON THIS CASE. FROM WHAT YOU HAVE... |
| 00:26:27 |
|
IS THERE A DIFFERENCE, CECILIA KANG AND HOW THE BUSH JUSTICE DEPARTMENT IS TRIBUNE IS AS OPPOSED TO... |
| 00:26:36 |
|
IT WAS THE OBAMA TICKET UP IN THE FIRST PLACE. |
