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.
