Google makes concessions on digital book deal , by Michael Liedke, AP via Globe and Mail (Nov 14)
Google filed a few concessions as the U.S. Justice Deparment reviews the proposed Google agreement with publishers and authors.
"Google Inc. is hoping to keep the deal alive with a series of new provisions. Among other things, the modified agreement provides more flexibility to offer discounts on electronic books and promises to make it easier for others to resell access to a digital index of books covered in the settlement.
Copyright holders also would have to give more explicit permission to sell digital book copies if another version is being sold anywhere else in the world."
