[Web4lib] Google Print pulls copyrighted materials

[Maurice York]

This guy seems a little off-the wall.

"Google took a temporary retreat today in its plan to make available
for free countless thousands of copyrighted books without the
copyright holders' permissions."

Google was never planning to make copyrighted books available for
free. It has always been their intention to index them, not deliver
their contents. This author apparently has some bone to pick with
Google (or is a publisher's shil?), but either way he could be a
little more balanced in how he's reporting this. I didn't notice
anything that Google did yesterday that was a surprise or varied from
what they have been saying for the last couple of months since the law
suits came around.
