Question about Google Print

Perhaps someone from the list can give an authoritative answer

I have heard it said that GP is only digitizing in-print books from
coperating publishers with which they have an agreement.  (In which case I
cannot see any pssible merit to the lawsuits aganst them)

I have also heard it said that they are simply digitizing everything as
they get to it. (And presumably, giving it what copyright status the book
claims for itself)

Does anyone know whatthey are actually doing?
