Internet companies are racing to get books online, but publishers are understandably wary. Sometimes the conventional wisdom turns out to be true—only with a twist.
Information wants to be free,” according to a celebrated aphorism from the early days of the internet. Yet this ethos has been creating new headaches recently. As search-engine firms and others unveil plans to place books online, publishers fear that the services may end up devouring their business, either by bypassing them or because the initiatives threaten to make their copyrights redundant.

Let me love you,
Let me say that I do,
If you’ll lend me your ear,
I’ll make it clear
The way that I do.
Let me whisper it,
Let me sigh it,
Let me sing it, my dear,
Or I will cry it.
Let me love you,
Let me show that I do,
Let me do a million impossible things
So you’ll know that I do.
I’ll buy you the dawn
If you’ll let me love you today,
And if that’s not enough,
I’ll buy you the first of May,
And tomorrow I'll send you
Merrily on your way.
-Bart Howard, Let Me Love You (music by Howard)
