Here's one more resource on the Google Book Settlement:
ANNOTATED SUMMARY. I have prepared a 10-page annotated summary of the proposed Google Book Settlement Agreement. The annotations are references to the
relevant provisions in the Settlement Agreement. You can use the summary as an overview or use it as a guide for your own reading of the 300+ page actual Settlement Agreement. The annotated summary is available at http://www.joybutler.com/googlesummary.pdf
TELESEMINAR REPLAY. The annotated summary tracks my complimentary teleseminar, “What the Google Book Settlement Means for Authors and Publishers”. A recording of the teleseminar will be available for replay by phone until at least May 31, 2009. You can access the complimentary telephone replay by calling (641) 715-3900. When prompted for the extension, enter 47422 followed by the pound sign (#).
You can find more details about the annotated summary and the teleseminar at
