A long saga ended today. A federal judge rejected a *Google settlement*<http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704461304576216923562033348.html>that would allow it to post millions of *books* online. It shows that Google should not be allowed to make Global law through its opt-out (opt-in by default) rules to manage the world knowledge.
