Open Access News notes that theology scholar Jacob Neusner, author/editor of 900 books, wants to opt out of having his works included in Google Library. While Google will willingly remove a work if the copyright holder submits a form for each work, Neusner and his publisher, Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group, don't want to submit a form for each work and are demanding that Google remove them all anyway. Rowman and Littlefield wrote,

We think it's unfair and arrogant and disrespectful of publishers' and authors' rights, and we don't want to do business with an organization that thumbs its nose at publishers and authors.

Well, gotta love the irony. The CTEA, DMCA, aggressive copyright protection, expensive licensing of IP, and blatant disregard for others' fair use rights, courtesy of the content industries, is unfair, arrogant, and disrepectful to society and those who create IP (not those that merely acquire the rights and sell it).
