Google and the World Brain background

Google and the World Brain

The Google book scanning project ignited a heated debate over the protection of intellectual property rights.

The ambitious project to create a global library of all human knowledge, as predicted by HG Wells in 1937, is underway with Google's Google Books website. However, the scanning of millions of books has sparked a global campaign by authors to stop the project, culminating in a courtroom battle in New York in 2011.
