Authors Guild sues Google over print program

So Google thinks it's simply OK take books off a shelf and scan them, then make them available online. I asked my 14 year old daughter what she thought about that. She said she thought that was illegal. She's 14 and goes to public school. She gets it.

Google doesn't.

Boing Boing: Authors Guild sues Google over print program: "'This is a plain and brazen violation of copyright law,' Nick Taylor, president of the New York-based Authors Guild, said in a statement. 'It's not up to Google or anyone other than the authors, the rightful owners of these copyrights, to decide whether and how their works will be copied.'"
