HarperCollins to Create Digital Warehouse of Books

Claudia Parsons writes for Reuters:

U.S. publisher HarperCollins said on Monday it plans to convert some 20,000 books in its catalog into digital form in a bid to rein in potential copyright violations on the Internet.

The move comes as the U.S. publishing industry is bringing lawsuits against Web search leader Google Inc. over its effort to scan copyrighted books in libraries -- a move the industry fears would set a dangerous copyright precedent.
