Hurricane Rita is, of course, already headline news today. Rice update: Misti made some more rice tonight in the rice cooker, but used a 2:1 water to rice ratio, and it was plumper and not dry at all (like it was before with the 1:1 ratio), but was a little clumpy. Tasted wonderful, however.
To illustrate (instead of just talk about) the real problem with Google Print, click on these links to six successive pages of a Print Publisher Program book, clearly printable, saveable, emailable, bookmarkable, etc., and beyond the supposed 5-page limit:
Anyone can view the source on a Google Print page of a book governed by a Print Publisher Program's agreement to get the actual image's location (link), and therefore directly access more than five (5) successive pages to a book. That's the real problem, not all this Print Library Project garbage that everyone is whining about. They're all barking up the wrong tree. Why isn't anyone else noticing this?
Of course, in reading over Google Print Publisher's Terms of Service (see #4, "Restrictions on Use of Authorized Content"), they don't guarantee that they can stop anyone from being able to print, copy, etc., so I guess if you're a publisher and you agreed to these uncertain terms, there's nothing you can really do about it? Also, it doesn't say anything in there about the five pages, it clearly says 20% of a book in any 30-day period. Hmmmm, I'll have to look into that. In any case, I guess Google is still covered - it's clearly not copyright infringement. The plot thickens.
