“The Authors Guild, one of the nation’s top writer’s groups, wants the US Congress to overhaul copyright law and require ISPs to monitor and filter the Internet of pirated materials, including e-books. The guild, which represents thousands of authors, has been quite active in trying to protect its members’ works. Most recently, the guild is urging the Justice Department to investigate Amazon’s book-selling practices on antitrust grounds. The guild had been involved in long-running litigation against Google’s university book scanning project. Last year, a federal appeals court said that universities could scan millions of library books without the authors’ permission.”
