Blistering Editorial By Pat Schroeder/Bob Barr in the Washington Times today about Google Print. " Not only is Google trying to rewrite copyright law, it is also crushing creativity." Google has a problem: right now they are a benevolent dictator in the search world.
Which isn't a bad thing... until some folks start to mind. Google really needs to work on educating the public on these issues, so far no one else has. If Google really wanted to they could lead the way in changing the public view on copyright, DMCA, etc. Unfortunately allot of Internet companies don't engage in the debate as forcefully (or in an organized fashion, ala lobbying organizations in DC). Just as simple as adding one link to the Google search page would help educate the masses.
