Google caved in to the Peking censorship bullies, now it looks as though
they're scared of the French copyright hit-squads, however wrong-headed.
Where will it all stop? Will we be allowed to quote Racine? Or translate the
Koran?

Subject: No Hetzels from Google

 

Google has digitized many Hetzels from the Univ of Michigan Library, but
because they were originally published in France they have decided not to
display any of them in full text, apparently for copyright reasons.
Curiously this policy does not seem to apply to books published in English
in England from the same period.
