Google's effort to digitize all the books ever printed ran into a host of legal and ethical problems. Many publishers and authors objected to Google infringing copyright protections afforded to the creators and publishers of print books. Ethics experts and academics objected to one company controlling that much information and literary content under one umbrella.
