ASMP files objections to proposed Google settlement

      ASMP, the American Society of Media Photographers, has filed objections to a proposed copyright infringement action against Google, asserting that photographers, graphic artists and other copyright holders have been excluded from the process and any settlement money. According to Victor Perlman, ASMP General Counsel, "The vast majority of photographers and graphic artists, whose works have been and continue to be digitized by Google without authorization, and who have been members of the plaintiffs' class since June 2006, would neither receive compensation for past infringement nor any benefit going forward."
