Opposing Google Books is like oppositing traditional local Libraries. Libraries provide access to books without the authors consent and payment for this access is acheived by distributing money to authors from a fund. Unlike local libraries, there will be little need to throw away the past when shelves fill; most books on the planet will be on one database; users can search inside books for the information they want; there can be a direct link to purchase. What more do publishers want ???
