NZ Society of Authors on Google Book Settlement

(crossposted from CreativeFreedom.org.nz)

In this document [PDF] the New Zealand Society of Authors say “There is increasing debate about the Google Books settlement overseas. Yet, here in New Zealand we seem to be just ignoring it as if it doesn’t mater to us. Maybe that’s because there seems to have been an assumption that it is only relevant to books published in the US; or maybe we just assume that the publisher will take care of it or maybe its just one of those things on the list that we’ll get to later. Well whatever your excuse for avoiding it, time is fast running out to do something – and do something you should.” Every NZ writer should learn about the Google Books settlement and how it will affect them

    I need some information as to where to find out HOW to stop my book being digitalised and available free on Google or used by it’s authors – I DO NOT WANT MY COPYRIGHT INFRINGED. Where do I go? What do I do? I would also like to send this to at least 8 other Australian and New Zealand authors

    Thanks
