BBC NEWS | Americas | US objects to Google book deal .

I’m not sure why I’m linking to a BBC article on this considering it’s a super-heated topic here in the states but…I just go with the flow, I guess.

I’ll add links soon, but there is so much discussion about whether this is good or bad, different groups taking different sides, official statements from universities (ie – not just publishers on one side, but institutions on the other facing off).

Some interesting stuff:

From Feral Librarian:

• Stanford’s Amicus Brief
• Perspective from a New Zealander
• Stanford sets the suit in motion
• Very timely – the DOJ files a “Statement of Interest,” which Chris has nicely summarized

More to come, hopefully, for more context
