Another snippet from the decision:

CONCLUSION:

In the end, I conclude that the ASA is not fair,
adequate, and reasonable. As the United States and other
Case 1:05-cv-08136-DC Document 971 Filed 03/22/11 Page 45 of 48
objectors have noted, many of the concerns raised in the
objections would be ameliorated if the ASA were converted from an
"opt-out" settlement to an "opt-in" settlement. ... I
urge the parties to consider revising the ASA accordingly.

Just came out. Copy of the Judge's decision is here:

Seems rather prosaic, but I'm still reading. No ideas on what comes  
next regarding Google books.
