Google and the copyright
Try googling this "Google +lawsuit+publishers".
And you will get a bevy of news about the class lawsuits taken by authors and publishers against Google for their Digital Library Project.
Here are a some of articles I found:
Writers sue Google Print over copyright by James Strucke, the Guardian
Authors Guild sues Google over library By Elinor Mills, CNET News.com
Even the publishers are getting involved. Google sure has stirred several hornet's nets and a multitude of bee hives.
This case is going to be a landmark case that will test the copyright law and its outcome might have lasting implications for the book and publishing indutsries. Interesting...
