(via Jeremy Wagstaff): Apparently, not all publishers are happy with Google’s plans to digitize and index library collections at major research universities. Some publishers complain that they weren’t consulted by Google, and that scanning library collections could be illegal. They say that “fair use” doesn’t apply to a commercial company, and other exceptions don’t apply as well…But other believe that the way Google intends to handle copyright works is consistent with the law…
