摘要

Numerous scholars have highlighted the extraordinary book-scanning project created by Google in 2004. The project aims to create a digital full-text search index which would provide people with online access to books and assist research. A few months after the original idea started being implemented, the Authors Guild and the Association of American Publishers filed a class-action lawsuit, claiming that the Google Books Project violated copyright law in the United States. The Google Books Project radically changed its character from the time of its birth until the negotiation of an Amended Settlement Agreement (ASA) with the plaintiffs. It has raised serious controversies not only regarding different aspects of the future of the Internet but also over the issue of privatization of knowledge. Those in favour of the initiative highlight the astonishing accomplishment of Google, allowing us to access books more easily than ever before in human history. However, their claim is as dangerous as the song of the sirens. While at first sight Google tells a tale of extraordinary inclusion, it excludes those who cannot pay to access snippets or limited view of around 80% of the books available. We also discuss the ASA of Google with the Authors Guild and its failure on March 2011. Finally, we explore the concept of fair use', or exceptions and limitations on copyright', which provides for full access to books to any individual, library or archive as long as they are used for educational or scientific purposes.
