The head honcho of the U.S. Copyright Office didn't have a whole lot to say about the Google Author Settlement according to this story, but those few words were deadly.
Parts of the settlement are "fundamentally at odds with the law," Marybeth Peters, head of the U.S. Copyright Office, testified in a House Judiciary Committee hearing Thursday that was webcast. She also expressed concerns that the settlement would undermine Congress' ability to govern copyrights and could have "serious international implications" for books published outside the United States.
