It adds little but some examples to the woes already chronicled here, but
the Chronicle of Higher Education does have an article on the addition of
download to Google Book Search:

Given the positive tone most articles on Google take, the (justifiably)
negative spin is interesting.  Searching for apocalypse was not a good
experience.
