WPG, a German publisher, has dropped its petition against the Google Books Library Project.

Google always give importance to copyright and believes that authors and publishers should be rewarded for their creative endeavors, according to Google.

According to Google blog: “We specifically designed Google Book Search to respect copyright law – never showing more than two or three snippets around a search term without the publisher’s prior permission, which they can give through our Partner Program.

This is separate from the Library Project, the subject of this petition. By helping people to find and buy books, Book Search enables publishers to reach a much larger, and more global, audience.” [source]
