Google's library sparks French fear

"FRANCE'S national library has raised a "war cry" over plans by Google to
put books from some of the world's great libraries on the internet."

Can't resist two comments:
It is interesting that the French assume there are no French books in major
American and English libraries (Google's partners in the project are Harvard
University, Stanford University, Oxford University, the University of
Michigan and the New York Public Library.)
Apparently the best way (read the article to the end) to encourage the
French to make French literature freely available on the Internet is by
threat of "crushing domination by America."
Vive la public domain.
