The Battle Over Books

The Nov. 17th Panel on Google Book Search
At the New York Public Library
See the official webpage, HERE.

My initial reaction to this panel is that Google is doomed if it continues to rely upon David Drummond to represent its legal interests. Larry Lessig carried Google's side of the debate, and I couldn't quite tell how well Mr. Drummond understood copyright law (clearly not on the level of a Stanford Law Professor). Google should hire Mr. Lessig as its attorney for this matter, and I'm sure that Larry Lessig would agree (though he clearly wants this case to go to litigation, and wouldn't be interested in a settlement).
