Bloomsbury Publisher Nigel Newton calls for a boycott of the Google search engine in protest at its plans to scan books
I call upon internet users worldwide to boycott the Google search engine until it ceases to scan books in America without prior permission, and desists from its mission to place ambient advertising on the great literary works.

ACHUKA will continue to link to the Google search engine for the time being.
