Circumstances prevented my attending the Google Print
debate at the New York Public Library last night,
and further (unforeseen) circumstances prevented my listening to the Webcast [grrr]. Audio and video archives of the
“Battle Over Books” will be posted here soon. The event was widely
covered, from Publishers Weekly
to Al Jazeera.
Here is a Google News search of the event. One surprise: Lawrence Lessig was there, arguing for Google. Chris
Anderson (long-tail expert and Wired editor) was slated, but I see no mention of his participation. Also Nick Taylor of
the Authors Guild joined the AAP’s Alan Adler, making the event a fairer fight than originally billed. The slate, then,
was Taylor and Adler against Drummond and Lessig, with the NYPL president sitting in the middle with inclinations
toward Google.
