$125 Million Settlement In Authors Guild v. Google

James Gleick writes "Authors, publishers, and Google are announcing a huge settlement deal today in their lawsuits over the scanning of millions of copyrighted books in library collections. Google has agreed to a huge payout for books that were scanned without permission, but now they'll be allowed to scan the books legitimately. Most important, they'll be able to put millions of books online, including those still in copyright — not just for searching and not just in snippets. There is a groundbreaking new licensing system meant to make the books as widely available as possible while protecting the authors' copyrights and enabling them to share in the revenue. Some will differ, but personally I think this is a wonderful outcome, for readers and for authors alike.

CREW Wins Right to Sue White House in Missing Email Case

WASHINGTON, Nov 10, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Today, D.C. District Court Judge Henry Kennedy upheld lawsuits brought by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) and the National Security Archive challenging the White House's failure to properly store and recover millions of emails. In 2002, the Executive Office of the President (EOP) stopped using the Automated Records Management System (ARMS) that had been in place since 1994, which automatically backed up all emails, but failed to install any other backup program. As a result, the Office of Administration (OA) determined that millions of emails from between March 2003 and October 2005 have disappeared. Although OA developed a plan to recover the missing emails, it was never implemented and no new electronic records management system was ever put into place.
