谷歌的九大反垄断战役
谷歌图书业务,2009年9月 出于反垄断与版权担忧,美国司法部要求联邦法院阻止谷歌与美国作家协会(Authors Guild)和美国出版商协会(Association of American Publishers)达成和解。谷歌原计划对大型图书馆的图书进行数字化,该项和解本来可以解决针对这项计划的诉讼。美国司法部认为,如果三方达成和解,将使谷歌“实际拥有对数百万本图书数字版本的独家所有权。”2011年3月,美国联邦法院以美国司法部和其他方反对为由,驳回了1.25亿美元的和解方案。 |
Google books deal, Sep. 2009 The DOJ asked a federal court to block a landmark settlement between Google, the Authors Guild and the Association of American Publishers because of antitrust and copyright concerns. The deal, which would have settled litigation over Google's plan to digitize books from major libraries, would have given the company "de facto exclusive rights for the digital distribution" of millions of books, the DOJ said. In March 2011, the federal court rejected the $125 million settlement, citing opposition from the DOJ and others. |
