Google Print solution in hand - support COCOA (Score 1)

The good news is... we have the solution in hand.

We've been working on this problem since Amazon released Search Inside the Book; we brought together experts from both ends of the copyright spectrum, and have developed a solution, called the COCOA (Copyright Owners' Control of Access) standard.

See http://www.copyrightaccess.com/ for details (and if you support it, please sign our petition at http://www.petitiononline.com/cocoa/petition.html) .

Some notes-- COCOA does not inhibit indexing, searching, or displaying text snippet search results.

On the contrary, COCOA will result in far more books and more pages being available, legally.

Please read how COCOA works at the site, read the FAQ, and by all means ask via the comment form on the site if you have questions. There have unfortunately been a number of misconceptions of what COCOA is or how it works. So, if COCOA somehow doesn't look good to you, please ask for clarification since COCOA was specifically designed to satisfy just about everyone regardless where they stand on copyright matters.

Thanks for having a look (and signing the petition and spreading the word, if you're so inclined),

Chair, The COCOA Association
