据谷歌发布的一则声明,这一决定意味着,谷歌检测到的图书目录中将不再包括在美国市场上不再销售但仍在欧洲销售的书籍,除非作者本人表达希望加入该目录的意愿。

为了消除欧洲方面的担忧,谷歌还允诺让两名非美国籍代表加入图书版权登记处(Books Rights Registry)负责执行上述和解协议的管理委员会。该委员会的主要职责之一是找出谷歌监测到的绝版书籍的作者,并将谷歌通过图书搜索业务获得的利润相应的再分配给这些作者。

And Google says it will remove all imprint European books from an agreement reached in the United States to digitize and sell online literature that was out of print in America. A spokesman for the internet company says titles no longer available to United States customers will not be included in its database because they are still on sale in Europe. The company will now have to negotiate agreements with European publishers and authors for titles currently on the market to complete its project of creating a vast online library.
