January 28 is Opt-out day for Google Book Settlement; NWU FAQ; Settlement page with forms

By Paul Biba

It’s coming soon and if you have a book that has been roped into the Settlement the National Writers Union has a FAQ about the Settlement and your rights. The Union says:

This information is provided by the National Writers Union (we are not lawyers) to assist NWU members and all writers in making informed choices. The NWU as an organization opposed the original settlement proposal as unfair to writers, and continues to oppose the revised settlement proposal. The revisions to the settlement proposal fail to address our objections. But we encourage each writer to review the revised proposal in light of his or her individual situation, and to discuss it with fellow NWU members and other writers. The NWU’s Book and Grievance and Contract Divisions and chapters are available to assist NWU members. We invite you to join us!

If you have opted out and want to opt back in or you want to file an objection to the Amended Settlement, or if you want to claim a Book and Insert, here is the Google Book Settlement page with further information and forms.
