Google Book Search Under Brit Fire

Category: Publishing , Copyright Law , Google

British publishers have now joined the argument against Google's Book Search.

From article:
"Lynne Brindley, chief executive of The British Library, didn't appear surprised that Google has found itself at odds with the established print industry.

'There's not necessarily a coincidence of interest between search engines and copyright holders,' said Brindley.

Laurie Kaye of Laurence Kaye Solicitors backed up this point.

'Commercial players are concerned about the loss of control over their content. Their content database being held on other servers creates uncertainty. I'm not going to go into the legalities of what Google is doing.'"
