In December 2009, Ursula K. Le Guin resigned from the Authors Guild after the organization supported a settlement with Google concerning book digitization. In an open letter, she said she viewed the settlement as abandoning copyright principles in favor of a corporation. That was her assessment of the agreement; the dispute concerned Google’s scanning of books and making them searchable.
