A $125 million agreement between Google and U.S. authors and publishers is being renegotiated. The parties agreed to return to the drawing board after the U.S. government said it seemed the agreement would violate antitrust laws.
Justice Department officials will be part of the new negotiations with a November 9 deadline. U.S. District Judge Denny Chin set the deadline after a lawyer for authors told Chin that Google and lawyers for authors and publishers were working around the clock to reach a new deal by early November.
