Google Books hearing

I hope they iron out something that is beneficial to us all. Personally I think that the fifty year rule should be altered to read something along the lines of:

"Copyright if the book is available in print,, otherwise it goes into the public domain if there have been no hard copy sales available in the larger book stores for over a year."

There also needs to be something to take "electronic books" into consideration but I am not sure how we can prevent authors and publishers selling one electronic book a month to each other to keep the copyright alive.
