Google book

Thursday, October 30th, 2008
You may recall that some time ago, Google started scanning/digitising every book they could find and putting on the internet for searching. Court actions ensured and the project was scaled back somewhat to out of print/out of copyright books. Now the court case has been settled (subject to the Court's approval) and the project goes on: IPkat here (with press releases etc.) - the horse's (well, Google's) mouth here. Publisher's Weekly here via Marty. Australian Copyright Council here.
