That's wrong too
"All members of the Authors Guild are by default included as part of this lawsuit. If they don't agree, they have to opt out."

Which, of course, is wrong. But just because the Author's Guild is doing, doesn't make it right.

I also question whether this really falls under the scope of 'fair use'. This isn't a case of using the copyrighted works for educational purposes or reviews, or even making a backup of a personal copy. Won't Google be making money from this (through advertising)? If so, shouldn't some of that monney be shared with the copyright holders?
