Authors, publishers, settle suit with Google

that includes a $125m (L80m) payout and the end to lawsuits filed

subject to the approval of the US District Court in New York,
comes after two years of negotiations between the parties and
will mark the end of two lawsuits against the Google Book Search
tool."
