Google are not producing any additional information that cannot be obtained,
without paying, from a library.
By reproducing extracts from the books Google are likely to stimulate
sufficient interest for the book to be purchased.

Are you saying that all libraries should be closed because they allow free
access to books?

Woo constantly posts off topic articles in newsgroups.
Woo cross posts to more than three newsgroups which is unacceptable
Woo steals bandwidth
Woo is nothing more than a spammer
Woo is a hypocrite by breaking the same standards he complains about

The meaning of simple is very hard.

Why worry about psychoing others explicitely, write to the FTC on Google, and its
not even something weird in the careless decade following the 90's of sharing.

Product Name: Google Groups Beta and Google's Library Project

The reason I am writing is because of very unfair business practices by Google Inc.

The main problem is privacy and copyright. Google offers limited privacy solutions,
but that is not acceptable. In California law requires websites to remove private
information upon request, Google does not correspond. In a sense its like "Google
on people", overriding the privacy rights of the masses for Google's money. I
know millions are unsatisfied ever since usenet was archived by a corporation
(DejaNews, 1995). Google purchased DejaNews in 2001, and remained the primary
abuser of privacy online and carrying harsh corporate policies sticking to the
"post-mainstream" totalitarian abuse of the unaware masses worldwide.

Also Google scanned 15 million books from libraries without checking for copyright,
forcing people and book companies worldwide to contact Google for resolving book
copyright disputes. Google claims its a good soliciting for the writers but its stealing.
There needs to more people complaining, please, do something. Google's
carelessness is too extreme.

If you remember 1995 and all the people complaining about privacy when DejaNews
began archiving usenet, you will probably agree. Please send your complaint to
www.ftc.gov, takes two minutes.

In these days of patriotism and madness which keeps these issues from listened to,
we can do something normal for a change.

Sorry, but that's none of our business.
The people that own the rights to any book are not subject to what
random individuals think MIGHT be a good idea, or MIGHT promote it, or
MIGHT make it look good.

A library pays for the books (or had paid books donated). In other
words, a controlled amount of people get to see it and someone was
compensated.

I am very strongly in favor of Web sites publishing or giving access to
works in the public domain.
I don't see how anyone can sensibly allow commercial works or
privately-owned works to be made public. That's just nonsense.

By playing songs on the radio, the radio stations create interest in the
albums. Why don't they pay royalties then?

Also, if you allow Google to do it, what's to stop 1,000 others from the
doing the same thing?

I do not allow libraries to keep copies of my work. My books are
nontransferable.

You sound rather obsessed with Woo.

Same in the US. Even our churches have to pay royalties to print copies of
songs in our service schedules or bulletins or overhead projections etc. (at
least, they're supposed to. Mine does.) What's fair is fair.
