Google announces digital book venture in France
PaidContent.org, here.
"Google said the new deal is not directly tied to a law passed by France this spring that creates a new royalty collection mechanism for out-of-print works that will be owned in part by the state and managed in part by the Bibliothèque nationale. But the company added the law is accelerating efforts to put digital copies of the publishers’ books into circulation" (emphasis added).

Zwölf Thesen für ein faires und zeitgemäßes Urheberrecht
SPD-Bundestagsfraktion, Arbeitskreis Urheberrecht,
These N. 11: "Die SPD steht für ein wissenschafts- und bildungsfreundliches Urheberrecht. Dafür müssen die
Rahmenbedingungen angepasst werden. Wir brauchen ein Zweitverwertungsrecht für wissenschaftliche Autoren, die ihre Beiträge neben der Verlagspublikation z.B. auf den Seiten der
Hochschule zugänglich machen wollen. Wir treten außerdem für eine Überprüfung der
Bildungs- und Wissenschaftsschranken ein. Insbesondere die Intranetnutzung in Schulen und
Hochschulen muss dauerhaft auf eine rechtssichere Grundlage gestellt und die
Schrankenbestimmung für die öffentliche Zugänglichmachung für Unterricht und Forschung
entfristet werden."

Refusal to dismiss the class plaintiffs’ antitrust claims against Apple and the e-book sellers
Southern District of New York (Cote, J.), Electronic Books Antitrust Litigation, Case No. 11-MD-2293 (DLC), here.
Apple's "contentions misconstrue the nature of the agreement
described in the Complaint. Regardless of the nature of the
specific terms of the vertical Agency Agreements when examined
in isolation, the CAC plausibly alleges a horizontal agreement
among the publishers, furthered by Apple, to raise the prices of
eBooks and eliminate retail competition. A horizontal agreement
to fix or raise prices is per se unreasonable", p. 53.

New Competition Law in Portugal
"A new Competition Law has recently been approved by the Portuguese Parliament. This has overcome some of the main drawbacks of the previous law, and has strengthened the powers of the Portuguese Competition Authority. Moreover, a new specialist Court for Competition, Regulation and Supervision has also been created. We are confident that these two major changes are a significant step towards a more effective application of competition law in Portugal", Manuel Sebastião, here. See also Pmlj.com, here.
