Google books ran aground

Just as things seemed to be going nicely for Google Books, came a  New York court and ruled that the deal would "simply go too far", giving Google an unfair competitive advantage. Just like in kindergarten, If Google was less greedy and let others participate in the game, it wouldn't have found itself in this mess.
Looks like it is high time to let others play with the books already scanned, if Google wants to stop this magnificent effort from going to waste...
