> Google is taking books and digitising them. That within its own right isn't illegal. But Google then takes the digitised books and utilises that content for profit (every time you click buy, Google gets a cut of the sale) and what's more the court has withheld the author's ability to decide how they want their books to be advertised/presented.
How different is this than if I make a website, review their book, and provide an Amazon affiliate link?
