...takes years to do so or whatever- google has soemoen take 10 minutes or so to automatically scan the work, and offer it for free online, for now, with the eventual thought of charging to read the online content- meaning hte actual author will be udnersold for his OWN work and be bankrupted after...

There is at least one company, in New York, if I remember right, which will scan any book you own for a nominal price and return it in electronic format.

The downside, it is a destructive process so the book is no longer a book.

Then there is the famous case of a book, Alms for Jihad, which was ordered recalled and all copies destroyed because muslims generally, and Saudi Arabia specifically threatened to bankrupt the authors, and cost the university they worked for hundreds of millions in legal costs.

It dealt with the financing of terrorism worldwide, and the role of oil rich sandmaggot countries that has made it possible.

It almost worked.
