The problem with Google is that what they say is free is not always free.

Look to the left. That's the cover of a book I wrote in 1994. Why it is still in print all these years I have no idea. But I ain't complaining. The book is still under contract, still being marketed, still be sold, and I am still getting royalties.

And Google books has it on their site for free.

The actual copyright of the book belongs to ME. But never did Google ask me if they could post it. This is the kind of thing I would excepted from one of those torrent sites. I expected more from Google.
