24 November, 20094 comments
What will be the impact of the loss of non-Anglophone books in the revised Google Books settlement? How about the loss of News Corporation content in Google’s search?

Mills, Amanda, and Dan discuss these changes to our information environment in a special Thanksgiving edition of the podcast.
