The deal puts an end to an appeal procedure, the two groups wrote in a joint statement on Monday. "The agreement was reached to promote initiatives in favor of digital books' development and create diversity, in compliance with copyrights," they said. The SGDL, which says it represents 6,000 French and French speaking authors and pays special attention to copyrights with regard to new technological developments, said the agreement would protect their rights on the internet.
