Google Sued for Google Print
Five "major publishers" have now (stupidly in my opinion) filed a class action suit for copyright infringement against Google Print in Manhattan. This is the second suit against Google Print; the Author's Guild sued last month. I think Google Print could be one of the best things ever to happen to book publishers; the books on it, scanned from college libraries, are searchable, but not easily readable. I think Google Print would actually sell books. Here is a reprint of an op-ed piece by Google's CEO that makes this argument-- it was in the Wall Street Journal on Monday, and seems to have been a preemptive PR strike against the oncoming suit.
