I recommand to list readers this new article from the Chronicle of
Higher Education about the Google/Yahoo/Microsoft book digitization
projects:

The article is lengthy, but has a lot to say. Its author has written
two books in this subject, both cited at the end of the article. He
also wrote a supporting brief in the MGM/Grokster case before the US
Supreme Court.
