Now Wait A Minute...

Google’s plan to digitize books has been stopped by Judge Denny Chin, who wants Google to rethink their proposal. The reason being is that ultimately, what is at stake here is the possibility that some people and books will lose out. Copyright is a very serious thing, and if Google doesn’t rewrite this proposal to show that copyright still matters and is an issue with this idea, then it more than likely won’t ever be approved. The possibility of leaving various works out is another reason their plan needs to be tweaked to fit the criteria for approval.

An article in the New York Times talks about food and fuel prices going up. It starts out by including all of America in this essay by using the word, “any” one who has done normal every day everyone things like, go to the store or gas station. This pulls the readers in because, “hey, I’ve done that!” Basically the article goes on to say that people are freaking out about the wrong thing. I don't know about this.

The Problem is...

An article I found interesting was about books being digitized. A plan by Google to do this has been put on hold by the government who opposes the idea because it would cause Google to have the ability to monopolize on these copyrights. The person who opposed this was Judge Denny Chin. Everyone it seems in all for digitizing books, but as the article continues we are given the reason for the deny and that is that Google would have the copyright to said books and could gain from the books without having the correct authorization. This is an argument worthy of attention by all. I agree with the decision the judge has made because it is only fair for everyone to get everything out in the open and for everyone to be on the same page. Basically the judge vetoed, but if there can be further negotiations made things might turn out different. The judge simply acted like the dad in the situation and explained that some changes needed to be made so no one got hurt.
