Brewster Kahle (archive.org) on Google Books

Balance??? How is taking information out of the public commons into any private domain balance?? Why must history repeat itself? Because the few with money know what to say and do to slip their foot in the door and rob the commons.

How is adding Yahoo and Microsoft going to make more balance??? Holy Fuck! Gimme a break. Morons.

Libraries are systematically underfunded. Just as all government is. Corporate bailouts and tax dodges do this.

Kings only listen to violence...

He runs a non-profit who's only goal is to make all of human knowledge available for free, to everyone. the balance he is talking about is not having google be the only ones in control of the knowledge, but multiple sources to ensure that it never gets blocked.

[freaks182]

he's saying that google would have the rights to be the only entity able to host the books online

[spongebobfan81]

What the hell is he talking about? you can find books in the libraries...

[Jac0bReg]

what he wants is to make every book in every library anywhere available to anyone.
