The Supreme Court is likely to persuade the parties concerned to work out a settlement.

Its practice of burning forests for settlement and development.

In 2005, the Authors Guild of America, together with a group of US publishers, launched a class action suit (集团诉讼) against Google that, after more than two years of negotiation, ended with an announcement last October that Google and the claimants had reached an out-of-court settlement.

This settlement hands Google the power - but only with the agreement of individual rights holders – to exploit its database of out-of-print books

Critics point out that, by giving Google the right to commercially exploit its database, the settlement paves the way for a subtle shift in the company's role from provider of information to seller.

Interest in this aspect of the settlement has focused on "orphan" works, where there is no known copyright holder – these make up an estimated 5-10% of the books Google has scanned

It is by no means certain that the settlement will be enacted (执行) – it is the subject of afairness hearing in the US courts.

The commercial provisions of the settlement

It could lead to more out-of-court settlements of such disputes.
