"In a letter to the chairmen of the House and Senate Judiciary
subcommittees overseeing intellectual property issues, the nation's oldest
consumer advocacy group...warned...that the project, which will resume
scanning on November 1, 2005 poses dramatic threats to the principle of
copyrights; fairness to authors; and cultural selectivity, exclusion, and
censorship."
