Class Action Lawsuit against Google

If you are a professional photographer, our an amateur who has been published in books, then please take note.  There is a settlement in the class action lawsuit against Google by ASMP, the Graphic Artists Guild, the Picture Archive Council of America, and the North American Nature Photography Association (NANPA).  This settlement completely ignores any and all rights of the photographer - it compensates only the authors - unless the photographer owns the copyright to the entire book.  The groups listed above will be filing an appeal on the settlement.  For more information, including what you should do, go the the ASMP website at http://asmp.org/articles/google-settlement.html.
