The courts make a decision yet?
I swear if I wake up one day and realize the Googletards put one of my books in their little library without my permission I will flip, to hell with publicity.
The manga community might be able to pull that off, but I'm not going there.

Edit: Yay, 700 posts.

Technically...no.
But Google has appeased alot of the malcontent authors by offering the arguement that by allowing them (Google) to put the authors books out their, they will gain more publicity, and increase their book sales. I don't know about that >.> Seems it would be more like the manga scanlation problem, people read it online then don't buy it in the stores, although I do, or else the authors don't have the money to make more stories :D
