D Is for Digitize – Google Book Settlement – New York City

New York Law School‘s Institute for Information Law and Policy presents D Is for Digitize, Oct. 8-10, 2009.

The conference will discuss Google’s plan to digitize books and the class action settlement now awaiting court approval. It will feature a lineup of academics and practitioners who will examine the settlement through the lenses of copyright, civil procedure, antitrust, information policy, literary culture, and the publishing industry.

The conference is timed to coincide with the rescheduled fairness hearing in the Google Book Search case, to be held on Wednesday, October 7, just five blocks away from the Law School. mw
