It would be counter productive to raise the educational levels of free loaders in general. How many citizens know where Bremen or Tallahassee are, or what percentage of U.S.A. born persons can spell either of these names, is a prime example of successful school business. Comments are irrelevant. In a country where education is a business, books cannot be free. It would be counter productive to raise the educational levels of free loaders in general.

Limited previews are required by copyright law, and this is what is preventing having the archive of all human recorded knowldege published online. We can go into a public library, check out and read any of thousands of books, but we cannot do the same online due to copyright laws. The quality of information is much higher in books compared to the typical web pages, and the author as the base of that expertise wants to protect his/her authority & income through copyright protection & royalties. Amazon wants to sell ebooks for $35, when they cost nothing to produce from the original. Copyright - based on printing press, and digital distribution to be renegotiated, similar to music. Summary: having a complete library of all books ever published online and freely available for anyone to view will become a fundamental part of society in the near future, same for art, music, movies, tv...

Books that pertain to higher education can be found on Google in their totality and the companies producing these books will be forced out of business once students realize that they don't have to pay for their books. Book publishers will be forced to close their doors. The only reason this problem is not huge at this point is that most people don't realize that they can find any book they want at Google Books.

Most books on Google Books aren't readable in full, leaving only parts viewable, and all have links on the sidebar where you can find them in a local library or order them online. This is no different than being able to peruse a book while sitting at a bookstore, then choose to buy it or not. If Google should be punished for this, then Borders and Barnes and Noble should shrinkwrap all their books and charge people just for cracking them open.
