     "There are many, many people, class members in the thousands, for
      whom this is a very sad day. This settlement has a tremendous
      benefit for society and for authors, and we're cautiously
      optimistic that we will be able to achieve - if not this
      settlement - than our goals, down the road."
          -- Authors Guild lead counsel Michael J. Boni

the current status after the court's recent decision.

My own discussion of the Google Books settlement situation from "Coast
to Coast AM" radio two night ago can be heard here:
