Need some research help

OK, the US Government has decided to be upset about the Google Book Settlement. The Justice Department has sent out formal requests for information to various entities, including the Authors Guild, Google, and divers publishers.

But none to authors.

Can someone figure out how authors can get in on the fun, here? I love my publisher, but their interests do not necessarily coincide with mine in this matter; we have different necessities.

problem is, 'authors' are not a bloc, they are not organized, and because of that they do not have a 'legitimate' voice in bargaining sessions*.

The problem with being defiant cats is that you have very little bargaining power

Sucks to be us. :-(





*many many small voices do not = power, especially when not all the small voices are saying the same thing.
