Google China book search
p2p news / p2pnet: Google.com has launched a book search "partnership" program in China.
"Tsinghua University Publishing House and Juvenile and Children Publishing House have become its first batch of partners for the program," says ChinaTechNews.
It’s free to publishing houses, printing institutions and individual writers and manager Chen Yuhua promises authors won’t have to worry about "copyrights being violated with Google’s technology support".
The service is currently in English only but, "Kai-Fu Lee, president of Google China, says that his company will soon launch a Chinese interface book search," adds the story.
ChinaTechNews doesn’t say if searches will be censored in any way.

NOTE: p2pnet is being sued by Sharman Networks and Nikki Hemming, ceo of p2p application Kazaa. "The suit is a little odd, since P2PNet.net is a champion of peer-to-peer file-sharing, which is the same business that Kazaa is in," says The Globe & Mail.
