  • The budget proposed $59.2 billion for the U.S. Department of Education in FY09 and, for the fifth consecutive year, called for the elimination of the primary source of federal funding for educational technology, the $267 million Enhancing Education Through Technology (EETT) program.  The Administration offered a similar rationale for eliminating EETT as it did last year: the program is "small, narrowly focused, ...

Markets Declare Truce in Copyright Wars - WSJ.com

  • But content owners are finally realizing they're better off helping their customers use digital media than trying to stop the march of technology.
  • The most fascinating truce in the copyright wars is this month's settlement of litigation between book publishers and authors on one side and Google on the other -- at $125 million, the biggest book deal ever. Google has digitized some seven million books. Of these, one million were already covered by an agreement with publishers to allow "preview" selections of books. Another one million books are old enough that they're no longer covered by copyright.

Google Book Search Settlement: A Reader's Guide | Electronic Frontier Foundation

  • First, this agreement is likely to change forever the way that we find and browse for books, particularly out-of-print books. Google has already scanned more than 7 million books, and plans to scan millions more. This agreement will allow Google to get close to its original goal of including all of those books into Google's search results (publishers got some concessions, however, for in-print books). In addition to search, scanned public domain books will be available for free PDF download (as they are today). But the agreement goes beyond Google's Book Search by permitting access, as well. Unless authors specifically opt out, books that are out-of-print but still copyrighted will be available for "preview" (a few pages) for free, and for full access for a fee. In-print books will be available for access only if rightsholders affirmatively opt in. The upshot: Google users will have an unprecedented ability to search (for free) and access (for a fee) books that formerly lived only in university libraries.
