Some may remember about 15 or so years ago when Google endeavored to digitalize every single book in every major library in the world and make them accessible to the masses.

Sounded like a great idea at the time and Google had the resources to actually do it.

A big squawk was made at the time and the project halted. We haven't heard much about it since. I wonder if Google was "gotten to" by the powers that be - who certainly have a vested interest in controlling what the masses see and don't see.

Probably more reminded that most of those books are under active copyright and if they want it to distribute they need to pay.
