Google digitizing all books

[Vitalich, Kristin]

As far as I can tell, Google is not republishing entire copywrighted texts: http://books.google.com/googlebooks/agreement/

I've used up more than my share of opinion space on this topic, so  
just one more quick question:

Quoting "Paul B. Gallagher":
> [...] what Google is actually
> proposing to do, publishing entire works, is not fair use, not even
> close. Obviously, certain works (those in the public domain, public
> records such as laws, etc.) are excluded from the restriction, but if I

> without my permission, and I will not grant that permission without
> fair compensation.

Can someone please refer me to the specific place where Google makes  
this proposition, or alternatively, where Google actually republishes  
an entire copyrighted work?

Kevin
