| More Business - San Francisco Gate Posted: 10 Sep 2009 09:44 AM PDT The company announced that concession Thursday after mounting opposition to Google's 10-month-old settlement. Among other things, opponents of the deal argue it would give Google a digital monopoly on millions of books that are no longer being published. Google now says it will give Amazon.com and other rivals to its digital library of out-of-print books. The other merchants would then be allowed to keep most of the revenue from the sales. Google announced the change shortly after the head of the U.S. Copyright Office advised a congressional committee that parts of the settlement violate federal law. |

(NEN) for "nominal consideration" to focus on its Redbox DVD rental kiosks and coin-counting machines. The Bellevue company (NASDAQ: CSTR) announced its plan to sell the division last month and said Louisville, Colo.-based NEN was formed last month in anticipation of acquiring the Coinstar division. Coinstar said it expects to receive a net gain between $25 million $35 million on the sale in the third quarter. "Our core DVD and coin kiosk businesses provide a solid foundation and, with the sale of our entertainment services business, we are better positioned to maximize the substantial market opportunity in automated retail," said Paul Davis, Coinstar CEO, in a statement. NEN operates coin-operated gumball and toy machines, kiddie rides, skill cranes and video games and other amusement vending machines at malls and super markets.
