Authors sue Google over book plan
View at BBC NEWS
A US writers' group is suing internet search engine Google, claiming that its plan to digitise major library book collections infringes author copyright.
The Authors Guild has filed a lawsuit in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York.
"This is a plain and brazen violation of copyright law," Nick Taylor, president of the 8,000-member New York-based Authors Guild, said in a statement.
Does Google beleive that it is so big and powerful now that it can ignore the rights of individuals?
Is Google going the way of other massive businesses in believing that their power makes them right?
