PEN American Center - Member Forum on Google Library Project

An association of writers working to advance literature, defend free expression, and to foster international literary fellowship.

"Objecting to the Google Print Library Project is like objecting to having your books in the public library." [more]

"Nothing will stop the onward press of info-gluts to commandeer all the printed words in the world. But who will protect the writer?" [more]

"How dreary that book publishers, like the record companies, have taken a position which has already been proven to be short-sighted—and very much against the interests of writers." [more]
