Internet Archive stares down Google book mine

Google Books Settlement Con As part of its ongoing campaign against the book of 125 million U.S. dollars from Google pact scanning, Internet Archive, Peter Brantley has warned that even if the authors opt-out service from Google Book Search web giants have continued the power of their wealth Data Book for use in other services.

"It's a value to [the integrity of the digital collection of books from Google]. It is something we have to believe that scientists and researchers to think: if they want to transfer this unique collection must complete a single enterprise, "Brantley said Friday at a conference devoted to the colony of Google Books in the University of California, Berkeley.

"Authors can retire from work [] Google Book Search. But Google will not use yet in a position to take this work in many cases, for integration into other products like Google Maps and others who rely on the diversity of knowledge in this books instead.

"As owner, I can not my book from all the data on the use only, and even if I my book, my purpose is to display] always [corpus of data."

In October, Google has launched an action brought by the Authors Guild and digitize settled the American Association of American Publishers over Book Search project, a project to books in the libraries of the world. The pact creates a "book, which can solve the rights of the firm" authors and publishers of copyright claims in exchange for a predetermined reduction in revenue from Google.

Brantley and many others have complained that allows the regulation also has a scanning single Google to sell ads and help check against the "orphan works" books, the rights of authors and publishers not yet removed. But only one of Brantley concerns about the pact, which still requires court approval.

The regulation applies not only to give Google a monopoly around the online booking of orphan works. It would be the company the opportunity to free myself (the data within the 10 million pounds and counting), he scanned - including books, the rights of authors and publishers have chosen to place Google Book Search.

Under the settlement, Google has synchronized access to others at least a portion of their collective data structure - the "body of research - from the inside of the two American libraries. Yes, only two. And the company could prevent others from use of the data, what he sees as competing services.

Dan Clancy, director of engineering at Google Book Search, said that Google would just crack on services, with the latest offerings from Google, no future competing offers. But Google will decide what is in the competition and what is not.

Clancy, however, warned that if the scheme was rejected, only Google has access to that body. This is a double-edged sword for Google book deal with. If approved, Google has an enormous amount of control over the future of digital book. And if it is rejected, the company has still a large amount of control. What we need is a federal law that is) with these (and many other topics. And that's what Brantley claims.
