We're not trusting them to do anything - they are doing something that anyone has the right to do. |
There's a book by the head of European initiative for the scanning of books in which he makes the case that Google has too much power with editorial selections, filtering, or simple neglect-- for example, it is overwhelmingly filled with English books at the moment. This is one of those cases "who counts the vote has the power." Furthermore, we reply on Google for a hub of all knowledge--- if it's not on Google in the future, a book a will not exist for 99.99999 of the population.
