Well actually I love google book search. And I even bought one or two books already I found on book search. I mean just for academic world, it is a dream you can make a full text search of the whole "gutenberg galaxy" (that is all books written by mankind). To some degree copyright has not to defy usefullness. I mean, they show not the whole book only excerpts of what you searched. You need to buy the book if you want to see more. So whats the problem again?
About putting stuff on the internet. Yes you *are* publishing something when you upload it on a http server. And this does include that you have to provide a little more work, if you have any specific use-limitation of the content in mind which does not accord to the mediums default. Caching is the mediums default on the web.
You could as well get a TV show, and then complain about all the people who record it on the VCR. And of course you complain a lot about the TV-magazines, which do actually nothing but indexed TV-shows and they make advertisment! Directly next to a picture taken from your show! Evil, evil, evil...
