Google’s plan to digitize thousands of public-domain books from the New York Public Library, Oxford University’s Bodleian Library, and the libraries of Harvard and Michigan universities is drawing fire from concerned publishing associations according to an article in Business Week magazine. A number of American organizations and publishers — including the Association of American University Presses and the Association of American Publishers — have recently written letters to Google expressing concern that the world’s largest search engine might expand its program to include copyrighted material. Publishers are also worried about the potential loss of revenues should consumers choose to download free copies of public-domain titles.
