Mystery writer & blogger Roger L. Simon endorses the Authors Guild action against Google. As for the idea that a writer can opt out of the program, aside from its dubious legality: "[T]hey certainly haven't contacted me - nor have they, to my knowledge, contacted any other writers. . . . Most of us wouldn't even know how to contact them."
A commenter notes the unity among categories of IP:
First they came for the song writers.
And then they came for the script writers.
And now they come for the authors. As we at PFF keep hollering, the IP-dependent industries need to hang together.
UPGRADE (04:05 p.m.): Actually, here is where he could contact Google.
