Although Google’s ambitions are to scan the world’s books and digitizing them all have met with a sudden strong reaction among Chinese publishers in China which is leading to more litigations, Google is not yet to give up on the idea of scanning the world’s books at all!  Instead, Google is going to negotiate with the Chinese publishers and hope that things will be ironed out!  In US, there are publishers and big companies like Microsoft and Amazon all want to stop Google from dominating the digital book world, and now China publishers are trying to foul Google’s plan.  If Google is not dealing with China smartly, it may find other countries hard to persuade in allowing Google in scanning their books also.  In my opinion, I think Google needs to settle the US problem first, and if Google is successfully dealing with US, and then China next, I think scanning the world’s books won’t be impossible.  If otherwise, I think Google is going to have a really tough time to meet its goal.  Source
