Information wants to be free

"The Authors Guild on Tuesday filed suit against Google, charging that the Google Print Library program constitutes massive copyright infringement.

The program involves scanning books from libraries and universities to make the texts searchable through Google's engine. Google intends to sell advertisements on those pages."

It would be nice if they could scan college text books. The cost for them is outrageous and it looks like its only going to get worse.
