As with all of our decisions related to Google Books content, we're conservative in our reading of both copyright law and the known facts surrounding a particular book. We're looking into solutions to increase the number of books accessible in full view worldwide. If you find a "Snippet View" book and believe it should be in the public domain, please contact us .

It is our policy to respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement. Please review the details below:
Digital Millennium Copyright Act - Google Books
It is our policy to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the text of which can be found at the U.S. Copyright Office Web Site, http://www.copyright.gov ) and other applicable intellectual property laws. Responses may include removing or disabling access to material claimed to be the subject of infringing activity and/or terminating subscribers. If we remove or disable access in response to such a notice, we will make a good-faith attempt to contact the owner or administrator of the affected site or content so that they may make a counter notification pursuant to sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of that Act. It is our policy to document all notices of alleged infringement on which we act. As with all legal notices, a copy of the notice may be sent to one or more third parties who may make it available to the public.
Infringement Notification for Google Books
To file a notice of infringement with us, you must submit the form provided below. Please note that you will be liable for damages (including court costs and attorneys' fees) if you materially misrepresent that a product or activity is infringing your copyrights. Indeed, in one case involving online content (please see http://www.onlinepolicy.org/action/legpolicy/opg_v_diebold/ for more information), a company that sent an infringement notification seeking removal of online materials that were protected by the fair use doctrine was ordered to pay such costs and attorneys fees. The company agreed to pay over $100,000. Accordingly, if you are not sure whether material available online infringes your copyright, we suggest that you first contact an attorney.
