Google, Publishers Seek More Time to Reach Book-Scan Accord

Google Inc. and a group of publishers and authors told a federal judge they are discussing options toward a possible settlement of a book-scanning lawsuit against Google and asked for 60 days to continue talks.

In March, U.S. Circuit Judge Denny Chin in New York rejected a proposed $125 million settlement over the largest Web-search provider’s plan to create the world’s biggest digital library, saying the deal would be unfair to authors.
