Kenny G interview

Kasa viittaa UbuWebin perustajan Kenneth Goldsmithin haastatteluun Archinetissä. Nopea vilkaisu saa kiinnostukseni heräämään ja laajan tekstin viimeinen kappale varmistaa, että luvassa on paljon kiintoisaa luettavaa. Näin Kenny Googlen ja kumppaneiden aikomuksesta siirtää maailmankirjallisuus verkkoon:

Google scanning books? There's ulterior motives there man. It's sort of cool, but it's sort of not. I mean they're not doing it to benefit humanity. They're not practicing utopian politics. And I think the publishers have every right to be suspicious. You know, this is a huge corporation; they've got something else in mind. And again it's that other scale of economy that doesn't have anything to do with us really. And believe they ain't going to be scanning books that were produced in editions of one hundred that make absolutely no sense--guarantee! They ain't going to be scanning little books of Lyn Hejinian language poetry--I guarantee it.
