"Just weeks after a leading authors' organization sued Google for copyright infringement, the Association of American Publishers has also filed suit against the search engine giant's plans to scan and index books for the internet," reports AP.
"In papers filed Wednesday in the US District Court in Manhattan, the publishers association sought a permanent injunction and cited the 'continuing, irreparable and imminent harm publishers are suffering ... due to Google's willful (copyright) infringement to further its own commercial purposes.' The suit was filed on behalf of five publishers: McGraw-Hill, Pearson Education, Penguin Group USA, Simon & Schuster and John Wiley & Sons."
Meanwhile, Google's chief executive Eric Schmidt has written a piece for The Wall Street Journal putting the company's point of view re Google Print. You can read it on the Official Google Blog.
