Judge Denies Bid to Seal Settlement in Audible Captions Case - Publishers Weekly

Today as Panzer was washing the the windows of the Panzermobile he found a post stuck under the wiper blade of the windshield (windscreen). Smoothing it out, our fastidious kitty discovered it was a post about the Audible Captions copyright case. A few days ago Panzer told you about the settlement of the lawsuit, when Audible agreed not to use books without the copyright holder's permission.

So, we still don't get to see it.

According to the post by Andrew Albanese, Judge Valerie Caproni, the presiding judge in the settlement of the copyright lawsuit case against Audible Captions, has denied the parties' request to seal the settlement agreement. If the judge did let the agreement be sealed, then no one would be able to read it and find out what the actual agreement said. The judge did give the parties the opportunity to file a sealed copy with the court with redactions (parts marked out) and the reasons why those redactions shouldn't be included in the unsealed agreement.The redacted copies must be filed by February 21.

Panzer says, "So ... Don't anybody start doing the Happy Cat Dance yet. ... Nobody knows what the final agreement will look like after all the redactions."
