Google Rant #1 – don’t steal my books Mister Google

January 24, 2010 10:09 pm / colin

My first thought is…

If I created a series of Google rants…
Would google index them?
Well. Let’s see.

Anyway.
Imagine a World where you could lose everything at the whim of a giant corporation… in a future World where there were no borders… only corporations that took what they wanted, when they wanted.

Your money. Your ideas. Your family and friends.
Sounds crazy.

Would it make it ok is the corporation tossed you a bone for your most cherished possessions? Like 64 dollars? For your life’s work…

Oddly, this is the present World. Google appears to want to steal all the books on the Planet and pay the authors 64 bucks for their trouble.
Sound odd? Sound outrageous? Sound like a scary future World.
Sure as f*ck does.

Shit like this staggers me. And we all need to be on guard.
