Interesting quote from a Book Standard piece about Google's latest stock offering: "The only mention that Google's prospectus makes to the company's plans to scan copyrighted materials from libraries is in its "risk factor" section. There, the company notes, "Some individuals and organizations have raised objections to our scanning of copyrighted materials from library collections for use in our Google Print product. Aspects of our future products may raise similar public concerns. Publicity regarding such concerns could harm our brand.""
