Better that it is entirely unavailable
than to make it available to anyone who cares to search for it. I have seen nowhere that the Google project will prevent any other source from digitizing books, or from keeping them in print. This is quite possibly THE stupidest argument I have heard yet to stifle the dissemination of information. These authors want to control what they wrote, fine, opting out is not a big trick. I'm guessing you can even opt out pre-emptively by notifying Google that you want works you have copyrighted excluded before they get scanned. How do these people expect to distibute their works and not be traced? Or are they happy to simply go door to door with a wagon full of paper?
