How will Google be disregarding the copyright claims? The Books Rights Registry [...] would oversee payments for authors arising from Google's use of the works [...] And why would you "go with Amazon"? They're shitting bricks that the the rightsholders (and publishers, as the case may be) might be able to screw Amazon out of their pricing power. Of course Amazon would want copyright changes via the US Congress - their lobbying would be more effective there. Amended copyright law in response to technological developments? DMCA, tyvm. And surely Amazon is large enough to be one of the "commercial or private entities" that could license the library rights from the Registry. Naaah, we'd just rather our current way of doing business is not threatened, now or ever..
