Amazon and the Authors Guild

slaniel | Uncategorized | Wednesday, November 5th, 2003

In a discussion of Amazon’s new Look Inside The Book program — which contains the full text of over 100,000 books — someone noted that the Authors Guild has protested: they claim that publishers don’t have the right to authorize the LITB program without the authors’ consent. Someone responded by pointing out the Authors Guild’s objections when Amazon started selling used books (my cache). I find their complaints pretty ridiculous, but I welcome defenses.
