New York - The Authors Guild has petitioned the federal court handling its settlement with Google (NASD: GOOG) over the company's ambitious book-scanning project to postpone a hearing on the settlement scheduled for Oct. 7, saying the two parties wish to work with the U.S. Department of Justice to overcome its concerns with the deal. On Friday, the Justice Dept. lodged its official opposition to the deal in its current form, and made suggestions for specific changes that could help bring approval of the settlement.
