Bob Barr picks on Google Print

Reining in Google - Commentary - The Washington Times, America’s Newspaper:

You’re probably reading the byline above and wondering, “What could these two, from opposite sides of the aisle in Congress, possibly have in common with each other?”
The answer is when it comes to Google’s Print Library Project we have much in common: We’re both authors and both believe intellectual property should actually mean something.
And so we find ourselves joining together to fight a $90 billion company bent on unilaterally changing copyright law to their benefit and in turn denying publishers and authors the rights granted to them by the U.S. Constitution.

If Bob Barr is against it, I’m for it.
