Does the website database include works not covered by the settlement?
Yes. The database was created by Google, based on information from data providers, to assist class members in the claiming process. It lists works that are likely to be “Books” within the meaning of the settlement. However, not every work listed in the database is a “Book” as defined by the settlement (see Question 10 above). For instance, if a work in the database is a scholarly journal, or if it is a book that was published after January 5, 2009, it is not a “Book” covered by the settlement. The certification page in the claim form lists the requirements each work must meet for it to be included in the settlement as a “Book”.
