Conflict of Interest?
I know nothing about civil procedure, but it seems that Lawrence Lessig, Cory Doctorow, and I -- among many others who have been commenting on the Writers' Guild suit against Google have a bit of a problem.
We are plaintiffs in the suit.
It's a class action suit "on behalf of all others similarly situated," meaning book authors.
Ok. So Google will let us opt out of having our books in their system. But will the Authors' Guild let us opt out of the lawsuit?
