I think the RIAA has done more to damage the record industry than file sharing ever did.

Wait, what about Google Books? Don't they have all the text in machine-readable format, even if they only show you a scanned page on search?

What Google Books shows you depends upon their deal with the provider. In some cases, it's full text. In some cases, it's a snippet.
In the latter case, I don't know offhand if they have the full text but just don't show it.
But yes, Google Books is the closest thing to an existing validation repository I know of.
