Google Books project draws fire in China by AFP: Yahoo! Tech

Hmm…

A China copyright group Wednesday accused Internet giant Google of scanning Chinese books for its online library without authorisation, in the latest criticism hurled at the controversial project.

The China Written Works Copyright Society told AFP its data showed at least 17,922 books had been scanned and included in Google Books, the Internet giant's project to digitise millions of books and post them online.

How very ironic. China, of all countries is complaining about this...where copyright infringement runs rampant (selling of pirated DVDs, software, etc.)

Everytime I hear about the way China deals with the internet, I start boiling...
