A Gloomy Side of Google

The term Google, derived from the mathematical term of “googol” or “1 followed by 100zeros” is a vast information media that tries to manipulate its powers to help others. Google even claimed in their preface that “it's about providing our users unbiased access to information, focusing on their needs and giving them the best products and services that we can. But it's also about doing the right thing more generally -- following the law, acting honorably and treating each other with respect.” So what is the law? What is its definition of law and which laws apply? In my opinion it’s great that Google is trying to provide us with service but I believe there is a point in which the influence and power of Google needs to stop. In the case of the video we watched, Google neglected the copyrights law and continued on with their dream plan of providing a scan of all the books that ever existed. This plan puts other companies and authors (who have the rights to own the book) at a disadvantage (Amazon.com, Windows, etc.). So if Google were to infringe upon the copyrights law, how are the authors suppose to gain a living?
