What does Google plan to do?
The Internet search group Google has been accused of breaching copyright roles on a massive scale through a plan to make the contents of university libraries easily available to anyone with an online connection.
Last year Google announced deals with five of the world’s top universities, including Harvard and Oxford, to scan much of the contents of their libraries into the Internet. The idea was to make millions of important but previously inaccessible texts available to researchers everywhere with a few clicks of the mouse.
The head of Oxford University’s library service said the project could turn out to be almost as important as the invention of the printing press. But from the start, Google’s plan met opposition. An organization wants clarification on sixteen issues, claiming the book-scanning scheme appears to involve systematic infringement of copyright on a massive scale.
Other oppositions have come from France where there are fears that the Google project will enhance the dominance of the English language and Anglo-Saxon ways of thinking. France and several other European countries recently got EU backing for a rival book scanning project for works not in English.
Supporters of the Google scheme say copyright is protected because many of the works being initially scanned in are old texts not by living authors, and where copyright is an issue only a list of the contents and a few sentences from the text will be available on the Internet.
选项
A、French should substitute English.
B、European Union denies Google’s scanning project.
C、Only part of the initially scanned works can be available on the Internet.
D、Not all top universities think highly of the deal with Google.
