I've heard some of the concerns from the author's POV, and am not surprised this lawsuit was filed. I would have to agree it's a big problem. I was thinking more along the lines of for non-fiction authors. As a world-wide clearinghouse where most every book is available page for page for free, people won't need to buy books for research purposes. When people are writing research papers, they're looking for bits and pieces anyway. From this standpoint, their plans will give away other's intellectual property at no gain to the author. Google probably does have lawyers that think they've found a loophole. I'd suspect this lawsuit will instigate some changes in the law. Even a few years ago, who would have assumed a big company would want to copy every page of every book and provide the means to give the information away for free.
