I'm not saying Google is right to infringe the copyright of authors and publishers, but at the same time, consumers will find some way to get their hands on free stuff that is easily available on the Internet rather than having to go out to the bookstore to buy the book. Google is probably trying to bridge that for the consumers, perhaps with lesser regard for the copyright holders. Perhaps a solution should be found for this, before even books go the way of music and movies, where you get publishers hauling digital content providers to court.

The resulting OCR quality will be much better.
