Privacy concerns over Google book project

Google's ambitious book scanning project, already facing anti-trust scrutiny and awaiting court approval, is also raising concerns among privacy advocates and civil liberties groups.

Welcome to 1984!

If you are worried about your privacy and don't want to be tracked online then you should disconnect from the Internet and melt your computer down into a chunk of scrap metal.

seriously, quit whining about privacy when you log onto the internet. The moment you turn that computer on you are basically giving up your privacy and leaving a trail that can be tracked with not much effort.

Don't put the info out there if you don't want to be tracked. That's what real life and real books are for.

That's what real life and real books are for.

Buy any book it must be cash only, any electronic purchase is recorded, join a library, your reading material is also recorded.

Sure these mega companies collect all sorts of data about me, BUT, they can not make me spend the coin in my pocket to buy their crap. All these CT's about how they collect and control data, is made up by them, for their benefit. If you don't like the game, don't sit down at the table.
So what if Reebok, collects data on my visits to their website, I am not going to buy their running shoes, cause I don't have any freaking legs.
