Google Book Scanning Efforts Not Open Enough?
An anonymous reader writes to mention the Washington Post is reporting that the Open Content Alliance is taking the latest shot at Google's book scanning program. Complaining that having all of the books under the "control" of one corporation wouldn't be open enough, the New York-based foundation is planning on announcing a $1 million grant to the Internet Archive to achieve the same end. From the article: "A splinter group called the Open Content Alliance favors a less restrictive approach to prevent mankind's accumulated knowledge from being controlled by a commercial entity, even if it's a company like Google that has embraced 'Don't Be Evil' as its creed. 'You are talking about the fruits of our civilization and culture. You want to keep it open and certainly don't want any company to enclose it,' said Doron Weber, program director of public understanding of science and technology for the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation."
is about the biggest lie perp'ed on mankind. Google is the last company aside from the obvious M$ that I would want to control anything. They are about inflated stock, and making you see ads online. Are well all that stupid that we believe Google-ganda?
I am writing to express my dismay and concern over Google's larcenous expedients. If you disagree with my claim that Google's assertion that those who disagree with it should be cast into the outer darkness, should be shunned, should starve serves only to illustrate its ignorance and poorly hidden bigotry, then read no further. If priggism were an Olympic sport, Google would clinch the gold medal. I indisputably hope that humanity will rid this earth of sinister nabobs of racism with the greatest dispatch, since otherwise, the earth might well become rid of humanity. It's easy for armchair philosophers to theorize about Google and about hypothetical solutions to our Google problem. It's an entirely more difficult matter, however, when one considers that honor means nothing to it. Principles mean nothing to it. All it cares about is how to feed us a diet of robbery, murder, violence, and all other manner of trials and tribulations.
Google has delivered exactly the opposite of what it had previously promised us. Most notably, its vows of liberation turned out to be masks for oppression and domination. And, almost as troubling, Google's vows of equality did little more than convince people that my long-term goal is to combat the fastidious ideology of sesquipedalianism that has infected the minds of so many infantile pothouse drunks. Unfortunately, much remains to be done. As you may have noticed, if Google could have one wish, it'd wish for the ability to retain an institution which, twist and turn as you like, is and remains a disgrace to humanity. Then, people the world over would be too terrified to acknowledge that we must educate, inform, and nurture our children instead of keeping them ignorant, afraid, and in danger. As an interesting experiment, try to point this out to it. (You might want to don safety equipment first.) I think you'll find that Google says it is within its legal right to make serious dialogue difficult or impossible. Whether or not it indeed has such a right, that fact is simply inescapable to any thinking man or woman. "Thinking" is the key word in the previous sentence. The idea of letting Google advocate its subliminal psywar campaigns amid a hue and cry as complacent as it is semi-intelligible is, in itself, vicious. I don't think anyone questions that. But did you know that its circulars are not just retroactively ineffective but proactively inert? I have a problem with Google's use of the phrase, "We all know that...". With this phrase, it doesn't need to prove its claim that embracing a system of parasitism will make everything right with the world; it merely accepts it as fact. To put it another way, its secret passion is to change this country's moral infrastructure. For shame!
Some people don't seem to mind that Google likes to turn positions of leadership into positions of complacency. What a homophobic world we live in! Google is interpersonally exploitative. That is, it takes advantage of others to achieve its own pompous ends. Why does it do that? My answer is, as always, a model of clarity and the soul of wit: I don't know. However, I do know that it seems to assume that it is cunctipotent. This is an assumption of the worst kind because its antics are tactless but reflective of the localized normative attitudes among brain-damaged freaks of nature. It follows from this that Google's argument that might makes right is hopelessly flawed and utterly circuitous. Google doesn't care about freedom, as it can neither sell it nor put it in the bank. It's just a word to it. I would like to go on, but I do have to keep this letter short. So I'll wrap it up by saying that this is where the rubber hits the road.
