How is such notification done?
Well, when I've been doing book searches at Google, and it comes up with a book that doesn't say that it was provided by a publisher, and the book information claims it was copyrighted before 1923, or I can find the copyright in a snippet, I use Google's feeback link to report that the book is incorrectly flagged as being in copyright so that they will fix the status. In one case, they fixed it after a 4-5 email exchange. In other cases, they simply told me that they were aware that some books were incorrectly identified as in copyright.
