Google’s Book Scanning and Copyright Laws

As you may know, Google is making an effort to scan every book
in the world. The goal is to create a giant online database of
every book that can be searched. One small problem is the fact
that Google is violating copyright laws.

Copyright

Google argues its book database doesn’t violate copyright laws.
The company suggests it only shows short passages and
accompanies the text with ads showcasing where the full books
can be purchased. Of course, the ads are Google Adwords from
which the company makes a tidy profit.

On Tuesday, the search goliath rolled out stand-alone book
search services in 14 countries. The same day, the Text and
Academic Authors Association (TAA) became the latest publishers’
organization to call Google’s opt-out strategy backwards.

Authors, Publishers and publishing associations are not happy.
While Google only publishes the full text of books in the public
domain, it is still copying entire books for which it has no
permission. Google claims it can do this because the books are
being scanned from versions owned by public libraries. Fearing
an avalanche of lawsuits, Google backed off.

In August, Google stopped scanning copyrighted books in public
library collections. At the same time, it gave publishers the
right to submit lists of books the publishers didn’t want
scanned. As you can image, publishers still aren’t happy.

The Arrogance of Google

Once viewed as the underdog to giants such as Microsoft, Google
continues to act like the local school bully. In this case, the
company has taken such an arrogant approach that lawsuits are
inevitable. Google is going to take a beating in the lawsuits
and here is why.

Consider the neighborhood you live in. What if a local crime
syndicate informed every household it was going to steal
everything in each household. Undoubtedly, there would be calls
of outrage. In response, what if the crime syndicate then
suggested you could send a list of items in your house that you
didn’t want stolen? This is exactly what Google is doing.
Google’s decision to scan every book in the world is idealistic,
but laughably simple minded. At a time when the recording
industry is suing teenagers for file swapping, one would think
Google would get a clue.

In Search of Wisdom $21 “A guide for pastors, church leaders, and others who help African Americans in their search for a meaningful Christian lifestyle. Forming Christians–leading fallen and flawed human beings into the path of discipleship to a crucified and risen Lord–is one of the central, if not the central, tasks of all Christian churches. It is a difficult enough task anywhere, but for African Americans, beset by racial conflict, personal crises, generational separation, and other concerns, it is especially so. In Search of Wisdom employs the biblical text and African tradition to draw on the idea of the search for wisdom as a potent way to help African Americans in their pursuit of genuine Christian discipleship. Wisdom in African American tradition is not simply knowledge; rather, it is those insights, attitudes, beliefs, behaviours, and practices that create and sustain a life of hope and that produce an inherent sense of the worth of oneself. If their members are to engage in the search for wisdom, African American churches must build an intentional ministry of faith formation. Wisdom can be gained, the authors argue, when African Americans listen to the black oral tradition, with its proverbial sayings, revered Bible stories, songs, and narratives from the lives of exemplary individuals. The book offers several similar avenues to the search for wisdom, including helpful models of black males mentoring younger black males.”

In Search of the Multiverse $79.59 We once had to abandon the idea of earth being at the centre of the universe. Now, we need to confront an even more profound possibility: the universe itself might just be one universe among many. In Search of the Multiverse takes us on an extraordinary journey, examining the most fundamental questions in science. What are the boundaries of our universe? Can there be different physical laws from the ones we know? Are there in fact other universes? Do we really live in a multiverse? This book is a search – the ultimate search – exploring the frontiers of reality. Ideas that were once science fiction have now come to dominate modern physics. And, as John Gribbin shows, there is increasing evidence that there really is more to the universe than we can see. Gribbin guides us through the different competing theories (there is more than one multiverse!) revealing what they have in common and what we can come to expect. He gives a brilliant tour of the current state of cosmology. John Gribbin is our best, most accessible guide to the big questions of science. And there is no bigger question than our search for the multiverse.
