NEW YORK—A federal judge here shot down Google's $125 million legal settlement it had worked out with authors and publishers to create the world's largest digital library and book store, The New York Times reported.
Judge Denny Chin, citing copyright and antitrust issues, said the settlement went too far and would have paved the way for a "de facto monopoly." Under the settlement, Google would have had the right to profit from books and not get permission from the copyright holders.
