Note also the statement on Google's Web site that this settlement applies to
the U.S. copyright dispute only. It does not have effect outside the U.S.,
although Google claim to be working with copyright holders in other
jurisdictions to achieve similar outcomes.

As a result, those of us outside the U.S. won't have access to these materials
unless similar agreements are reached elsewhere.
