Now The Oligarchy Uses Threats

Aw, Google Hypocrites Were Embarrassed

Really, the nerve of this post headline shocks me: Being bad to your customers is bad for business

I guess I must agitate for New York Times-level coverage of this — Google’s Naked Face Of Evil — before anything is changed.

If Google pulled the kind of crap with YouTube that it has been doing with Google Books, the outrage over missing out on the trivia there would be deafening and worldwide. But for such behavior towards something important and vital like books? Excuses are flung around.

Hey, Google, what about your Google Books customers?
