Abstract

This paper serves to examine the proposed Google Book Settlement by looking at Google, their wholesale scanning project, and the lawsuits brought against Google by authors and publishers. It also looks at current copyright law and the concept of fair use in regards to Google's scanning project and the proposed settlement. The reader will gain an understanding of the terms and conditions surrounding the proposed Google settlement and will see that there are still several areas that still need to be addressed.
