The latest version of GBS 2.0 gives Google copyright immunity to distribute millions of books online, in exchange for sharing revenues generated with the rights holders. This deal has divided opinion among copyright owners. Some of authors and publishers have accepted it as a modern means of earning revenue. The most controversial aspect of GBS 2.0 from the many is “opt out”. This puts the onus on copyright owners to keep their books out of the purview of this Google innovation. IRRO said, “This implies that if a person is silent, he is deemed to have consented to an agreement.”

According to IRRO, Indian authors, without any representation of their interests, would be affected by the secret negotiations that a few US-based publishers have had with Google. While GBS 2.0 is ostensibly limited to books published in the US, UK, Canada and Australia, the deal would impact the rest of the world too as any author published in any of the four named countries would be covered by it.
