I know I'm harping on that word again. But, what are you gonna do? Here is a link to an article in the Huffington Post entitled "The Audacity of the Google Author Settlement" http://www.huffingtonpost.com/pamela-samuelson/the-audacity-of-the-googl_b_255490.html-- and no, it has nothing to do with Obama (I just like the Joker/Barack graphic) -- only, I do wonder why the National Writer's Union didn't write him instead of Al Gore . . . they're both writers, and Al may be shilling for Google, but Obama personally opting out of the Google Author Settlement would be huge news.
You may say the leader of the free world has more important things to do, but I beg to differ . . . especially with "Free" being the operative word. Free to me does not mean the ability for anyone with a big fat wallet to steal my work, but it means that I am free to create and control my own creations.
Funny, the Google Author Settlement has Plaintiffs lawyers acting like Defense lawyers and vise a versa. Didn't anyone learn right from wrong growing up? Or did they all learn the Golden Rule -- He who has the Gold make the Rules.
