USA: GOOGLE: EPIC urges Court to reject Google Books settlement: Leading Privacy Organisation Warns that Privacy Problems Cannot Be Fixed (pdf):

"At a hearing in New York federal district court, Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) President Marc Rotenberg urged Judge Denny Chin to reject the proposed Google Books settlement. Mr. Rotenberg described how the proposed deal fails to protect readers’ privacy while mandating collection of readers’ sensitive, personal information.

"'A person at any library or any university in the United States that attempted to retrieve information from Google's digital library would be uniquely tagged and
tracked,' Mr. Rotenberg warned.
