A Chinese writer's group said Google has apologized for poor communication in scanning Chinese authors' books for the Internet firm's online library, the Associated Press reported. The Chinese Writers' Association said over the weekend that Google pledged in a letter to work out a settlement over copyright concerns by June, according to the AP. In a blog post, the Open Book Alliance's Peter Brantley said Google should also apologize to writers in the United States and other countries. The alliance opposes Google's digital books initiative, saying it's anticompetitive. Google has defended the effort saying it will help both readers and authors by expanding access to books.
