For being a documentary with lots of talking heads, it has a very decent work of photography, and it poses very interesting questions about the future of the Internet: the so called "democratisation of information" started by Google, and the limits between this global sharing and the rights that every author, writer and even artist is entitled to. It's ambitious, to the limits of madness, the project that Google has started: the digitalisation of every book ever published.

O tema é atualíssimo. O documentário começa apontando alguns caminhos interessantes, mas, como acusa a Google de fazer, não reflete muito sobre as possíveis conseqüências da digitalização em massa dos livros e foca sua atenção apenas nos processos movidos contra a empresa. Ainda assim, pode ser um início de conversa a respeito.

This was playing as part of PIFF, but I actually saw it air on Al Jazeera of all places. Let's just say that it belong more in the latter format than in the former.

The most ambitious project ever conceived on the Internet: Google's master plan to scan every book in the world and the people trying to stop them.

In a brisk 89 minutes, the argument gets a thorough, workmanlike airing.

Clearly the editing wasn't finished... yet the passions captured over 24 months by Nezhat's cameras and a battalion of local chroniclers were undeniable.
