There is a difference between storing "backup your last location read, all of your notes, and
bookmarks" so that "you can automatically restore your annotations, bookmarks, and the last location you read by
downloading the item from the Manage Your Kindle page on Amazon.com" and using this information without the owners permission for any purpose.

It is called privacy.

Recipes (at least the ingredients list) are not covered by copyrights. There needs to be "substantial literary expression in the form of an explanation or directions".

Thanks, I stand corrected.

I admit I haven't read the whole thing nor understand the legal aspects of it, but from the settlement.

No where that I have seen in the settlement, or bits I have read about it, is there statements that this is limited to works created before the effective date. If I am wrong please let me know.

Since this license to reprint exists for books that have not yet been written, I would say there is the ability to have future violations. Google will be free to reprint future books long after this case fades from the headlines, and the authors do not realize they need to opt out.

You obviously don't live in Indiana where we have to pay a book rental fee. $73 for my first grader, and rising prices as you get older.
