Google's Book Search
I just came across an article by Thomas C. Rubin. Its titled Association of American Publishers. It has a mention about Google's Book Search Projects. In this project Google is making copy of each book ever published. it is simply scanning each book irrespective of its copyright status, Which clearly shows that google has no respect for copyright. I would like to quote some lines from the article [ Google says that it doesn’t currently intend to place ads next to book
search results, Google’s broader business model is straightforward –
attract as many users as possible to its site by providing what it
considers to be “free” content, then monetize that content by selling
ads. I think Pat Schroeder put it best when she said Google has “a hell of a
business model – they’re going to take everything you create, for free,
and sell advertising around it".] What do you think about this?
