And you have more

They are available, but not on EFF's website.

No they mentioned privacy on their mission statement. No they have to just do it. As for peril, I don't think so.

Has to go with intended design which is weighted in a copyright dispute.

Look up a book on Widgets. If it isn't the title or in the synopsis, it was just mentioned in a book on something else. If he labeled his book wrong, then I don't want to bother since his brain isn't organized.

Then if they are not publishing houses then they cannot divulge large quantities of the book. I have never seen a review of a book that was completely divulged.

Grab 30 minutes of a movie and see what happens for a movie clip. There is a standard by which all go by. It is usually 10 - 20 seconds. By the way, they ask if they can do this to CYA.

I noticed that you didn't cut and paste a whole chapter on Citizen Kane.

They do not have mystical powers, but they are not doormats either. If they signed the rights over, then that is their agreement. Ownership doesn't matter.

Authoers do not want excessive info in their book viewed. Just enough to sell it.

Probably not in the contract. Publisher is doing her a favor. If she is that unpopular, she will show on the last pages of a search. Google is only a popularity contest anyway. You can skew the search thru links manipulation.

That is why you are not in charge.

I think it is fear of both. No sense in being popular and free at the same time.

Goes to show you that there really is a lot of BS out there. The world is built on it.

And the ones driven to the Web will not want Google to cache their entire book. If all answers to questions were delivered thru GooglePrint, why buy the book. Think about it. We already have enough people in this country not buying books, but would rather have knowledge delivered to them.

Control can guarentee profits. Without control (reasonable not total) you cannot run a business. This is in business 101. You analogy of this one is a black and white situation. Of course I tell someone about my product. Control works for MS. Lack of it kills linux.

Selling a used book is legal. Universities do it all the time. The Guild is not going to be 100% right.

I have to go back to the argument of intended design. It is considered in fair use disputes. Authors do not want the books to be a secret. Just purchased for reading.

Google goes over the line.

No, the authors send major news rooms clips of their works. They do not want Google caching the contents. I am talking about the entities that are in ownership of copyrights. Losers like Smashing Pumpkins that went thru there million dollar advance don't count. Besides, those news rooms asses are not on the line.

Not very many good authors. Google just makes it easier not to buy a book. We do not like to read in this country.

Probably not even that high. Most of what gets written is gossip and politics. They are not even worth a glance.
