RE: AAP/Google in Chronicle of Higher Education



What possible difference would it make for Google to "stop scanning"..its
not the scanning but display and access.

Existence of scanned text doesn't mean much, scanning + OCR is done daily
by millions.

Do publishers think they can stop the world from scanning anymore than
they could stop Xeroxing? Why would they want to? The more useful
publisher content becomes the more important it is.

Scanning isn't the issue-- it is display and access and distribution that
are the core rights at issue.
