Why must they preface the word sumo with "japan's ancient sport". its certainly no older than other forms of wrestling around the world.

I use google books all the time.... often for overpriced books I would not buy anyway. I also buy books later. This is just publishers not adapting to changing times....

Posted in: Authors and publishers are upset at potential copyright losses if Google proceeds with its plan to digitize millions of books. What are your views on this?

as many have already posted, Google is not at fault, just the Japanese discrimination and their desire to hide the discrimination. A bit like waiwai being closed down because it gives people an "incorrect" (but truthful!!) version of Japan.

The japanese already have a carrier, but in typical japanese subterfuge and hypocrisy its not called a carrier. As a global power China has the right and need to protect its sea lanes.
