Abstract
The regulars are joined this week by the great Tom Merritt of Tech News Today and TWiT fame. We discuss in depth the surprising lawsuit by the Authors Guild against five universities and HathiTrust, related to the ongoing Google Book Search legal saga. We also look at whether a "Netflix for books" is possible or desirable. And Dan gets a little too badge-happy. You'll get a badge for listening to this week's freewheeling podcast. Be sure to check out Tom Merritt's new book, United Moon Colonies, available in multiple formats for your reading (and listening) pleasure. CORRECTION FROM AMANDA: I mistakenly said on the podcast that public domain works in Hathi Trust are not publicly available: in fact, public domain works in Hathi Trust can be *read* by the public, although not *downloaded.* Moreover, works in Hathi Trust published between 1870 and 1923 that are in the public domain in the U.S. are not available to be read outside the U.S. See Hathi Trust's copyright FAQ for more precise information.
