Subj: RE: [kl] more about google print - Dan Leeson are you out there?

Does "fair use" describe the amount of text which Google allows each
client to read (and/or print)? Or perhaps does "fair use" describe the
amount of text which Google makes available to everyone to search (and
subsequently to select a smaller portion thereof for reading and/or
printing)?

That is, Google gave me the opportunity to access only six consecutive
pages from Dan's book before it asked me to register; but Google allowed
me to search several hundred pages of Dan's book before I chose _which_
six pages.

Six pages may fall within "fair use" for _me_, but do several hundred
pages exceed "fair use" for _Google's_ enterprise?
