Are books good for you

Michael Madison thinks it is a "great time to be a copyright lawyer" and that we should think carefully about the massive digital archives of printed works that Google (Authors Guild lawsuit notwithstanding) and Yahoo and others are creating.

"If we care about books as such, and if we care about libraries as repositories for books, then we should think carefully about how to manage Google’s and Yahoo’s proposed transition from atoms to bits."
