Google books wins ally in Brussels

Originally read this article in Financial times on Friday August 28th;
"Viviane Reding, the European Union`s media commissioner, has thrown her weight behind Internet search group Google in the row about whether it should be allowed to publish millions of scanned books on-line, Reuters write in Brussels.
This year Google struck a deal with author and publisher groups in the US, to allow it to copy books for the Internet."
Looking to Wired editors Cris Anderson published book Free (price of the future), I might say this kind of private imitative is good bookmark for our stagnant European economy and society, also this is new future of web, with "Free"="Freedom of charge".
Google, whose products I personally use with extensive, with the publication of books scanned initiative takes a broad step forward towards the future of libraries, which assessed the knowledge of EU institutions, taking into account the fact that research within Europe on the future of digital libraries solutions are launched only this year .
