Google Accused of Violating Copyright In China

Posted by timothy on from the capitalist-running-dogs dept.

angry tapir writes "The Chinese Authors Society has demanded that Google present a resolution plan by the end of the year and quickly handle compensation for Chinese authors whose books the US company has scanned without permission as part of its Book Search program. A local copyright protection group, co-founded by the authors group, has said it found at least 17,000 Chinese works included in Google's scanning plan."

    Most Americans have never heard of Ron Paul, let alone anyone who isn't from the USA.

    Isn't he the guy who got into the zeppelin wars with Cory Doctorow? I forget which colour his lightsabre was, though.
