A judge stops the ambitious "universal library" in Google

The search had reached an agreement with authors and publishers in the U.S. to digitize and offer millions of books online. Justice of that country rejected for not being "fair, adequate, and reasonable" and suggested further analysis of the Congress. Google told Clarín that the project continues.

Google's executives tend to inflate the chest when she should have what the "mission" of that company. "We are here to digitize the world," they say. Well, it seems that the U.S. Justice this lens seems a bit dangerous for competition. At least in regard to the ambitious project to digitize all existing books and arm and the great universal virtual library, as part of the Google Books service.

After thirteen months of intense study, New York Judge Denny Chin rejected the Google agreement reached in October 2008 with the Authors Guild and the Association of American Publishers for $ 152 million, which allowed him to publish form Web million books.

"While the digitization of books and the creation of a universal digital library would benefit many, the agreement would simply go too far. It would allow business to implement an agreement that would guarantee the future Google a significant advantage over their competitors," explains judge in his 48-page decision.

He added: "The fact that other countries have objected, arguing that it violates international principles and treaties, is one more reason why it's best to leave this matter in the hands of Congress."

Through the legal team director Hilary Ware, Google would only say that the court decision was "disappointing" and that the company will analyze the different options to pursue. Clarín contacted Daniel Helft, Google Communications Manager Latin America, which explained that Google Books does not cease to exist - and that rejection refers to a part of the project (orphan works) - and that the court ruling is not Ultimately, it leaves other review bodies based on the adjustment of certain clauses.
