Google Deadline Delayed Four Months

The courts have delayed the May 5th deadline for authors to opt out or object to the Google Book Search settlement. Authors now have 4 more months to mull over the decision and see if they want to opt out or object to the deal altogether.

Steinbeck, the driving force behind the extension, called the ruling great news. "We now have to time to really sink our teeth into what this agreement will mean," she said. She suggested that four months should be sufficient to determine whether changes made to the deal will make it more acceptable, or whether to opt out—or perhaps even object to the deal.
