RE: European copyright issues for Google Book Search

["Hamaker, Chuck" <cahamake@email.uncc.edu>]

Some of the members of this list who checked my google book links noted 
that they could not see material that is out of copyright under US law, 
but might not be under various European copyright laws. Could someone from 
the list explain this a bit more? Thanks

An interesting piece from the Search Engine Watch blog on the impact of
European copyright law on the Google Book Search project:
