More on Authors Guild
Description from Wikipedia:
The Authors Guild is an American organization of and for published authors. It has around eight thousand members, among them authors, literary agents and attorneys (who mainly deal in book publishing). The current president is Roy Blount Jr.
The Guild is primarily a litigation agency: it collected US$1.6 million in 2006 & 2007 with approximately fifteen full-time employees, while generating $30 million dollars in 2009 for the law firm representing the guild in the Google Books settlement, according to Paul Aiken, Executive Director of the Guild.
2009 direct and indirect revenue should exceed US$50 million due to the Google settlement, with $34.5 million paid upfront as a "registry fee" to a separate, not-yet-established organization set up by the Guild. The Department of Justice recently announced that it is pursuing an antitrust investigation into this settlement.
