its mostly about trust, can we trust a corporation to control all that information as well as the future of knowledge. I think all knowledge should be free to everyone everywhere, and brin seems like a trustworthy guy

Google books is the Library of Alexandria of our times. So many great books although preserved on library shelves are practically lost to humanity from lack of access and out of print. An antiquarian book's content should be available to all who want to read. Not just available to those with special permission (and a travel budget) to access a rare book collection.
