Macro screenshot of the Google Books website - the controversial Google service that allows users to search and access millions of out-of-print books which have been scanned and stored in an online database. The service has been hailed by some for promoting the "democratisation of knowledge" and potentially creating the world's biggest online library. Others claim the service raises serious copyright issues and some have taken legal action amid claims their copyright has been infringed. Editorial use only.
