On Marketplace, talking Google Books
I was interviewed for a brief spot on NPR Marketplace about the House hearings into the Google Books deal.
I got one sentence in, after a 45-minute interview - I guess broadcast media is all about editing.
They’ve gotten together and created essentially a joint venture that basically outsources world literature to Google.
The only other source in this piece: the ACLU’s Aden Fine, who added:
Google will have the ability not just to know what books you’re looking at, but they’ll know what pages you’re looking at and how long you’ve spent on each page.
