An event to be held in New York will have Google in attendance, along with representatives from the Authors Guild and the American Association of Publishers.
On November 17th, the New York Public Library, a participant in Google Print's scanning project, will play host along with Wired Magazine for " Sounds like a win-win-win-win for readers, authors, publishers, and libraries alike, right? But as we have seen with other media migrating to the Internet, such a project raises a number of questions about intellectual property rights, fair use, piracy, access, ownership, distribution, compensation, and control. This fall, the Authors Guild and the Association of American Publishers filed lawsuits against Google, citing massive copyright infringement.
