"Non-printable" page? If you can display it on a screen, it should not be too difficult to capture the image. Can the "Print Screen" capture method be disabled? (Copies the screen's visual display to the clipboard, at least on MS-Windows--presume there is something similar for Linux and Mac.) Or will they try to figure out a way to keep that captured image from being fed to (or rendered unreadable) an OCR program? Time will tell, but my guess is that these page images will one way or another become a source of material for future PG volunteers. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Hart <hart@pglaf.org> Sent: Dec 15, 2004 10:34 AM To: Book People <spok+bookpeople@cs.cmu.edu> Subject: [gutvol-d] re: [BP] Google Partners with Oxford, Harvard & Others to Digitize Libraries libraries [NYCPL, Harvard, Michigan, Stanford, Oxford] where they will get a graphical representation of the non-printable page that contains the quotation. --------------------------- Dennis McCarthy nihil_obstat@mindspring.com

As I always predict, with every generation of DRM, some 14 year old will figure out a way immediately, before they have even finished their initial tests of the Google Print project. Interesting, tho, that they called it Google PRINT when PRING is exactly what you can NOT do. . . . I wonder if they plan to charge for printing? mh

Noun vs. verb. Its "Print"(ed) media, but you cannot "print" it on your normal printer for personal or commercial use. The same sort of confusion surrounds "DRM", which has absolutely nothing to do with "Rights" at all.

If they do, this means they have 100% rights to do so, from the copyright holder(s), assuming the copyright is still in effect. David A. Desrosiers desrod@gnu-designs.com http://gnu-designs.com
