I am sure many of you have seen reports and commentary about Judge
Chin’s decision in the lawsuit pursued by the Author’s Guild against
Google over the Google Books Project.  But this comment by Zick Rubin
takes a different perspective that I thought would interest list
members:

Zick is a Boston-based attorney who represents publishers, authors,
and universities, especially in copyright and contract matters.  He is
himself a member of the Author’s Guild, largely because of his
writings during a previous career as a professor of social psychology
at Harvard and Brandeis.
