More on the Google Settlement

Good God, you're thinking, is she ever going to let up?  I can't take it anymore.  What happened to the absurdity, porn and pics of hot guys I come here for?

I feel you.  And actually, this is just a brief, brief update with a couple of links.  And here, here's some eye candy for your troubles.

But I've been reading The Fiction Circus and I just can't let it pass unremarked that, among the literary estates represented by DeVore, the lawyer that got us an extension on the deadline to opt out of the Google settlement, was the Phillip K. Dick Trust.  How cool is that?  Here's TFC's awesome post about it.

And, the Fiction Circus guys also conducted a long, long interview with James Grimmelmann, a law professor at the New York Law School who wrote an amicus brief (whatever that is, sounds like friendly underpants)  addressing antitrust concerns regarding the Google settlement.  It's worth your time.

Now you are required to write a ficlet about this type of amicus brief. ;)
