Five Day Countdown to Opt Out of the Google Author Settlement

Get ready to write your objection, opposition, amicus brief, or just plain bitchy letter to the court expressing your displeasure with the Google Author Settlement. The deadline is this Friday, September 4th.

C'mon, Writers write . . . for their rights. So get to it! Oh, and don't forget to opt out!

Here, let me get you started -- The Settlement sucks -- they stole my work -- infringed on my copyrights -- and are ramming through a sweetheart deal for Google so the attorneys can get paid $30 Million dollars, and Google can make ad revenue off of my intellectual property, which they STOLE!!! Oh, and you can't approve a class when those affected have NOT been notified!!! And you can't use a class action to re-write copyright law!!!

Not bad, expound as you will . . . try not to get too wordy, though. Enough boring shit has already been written about this settlement, especially the 383 page Settlement Agreement itself.
