I'm mostly complaining that Google is being Very Evil. There is nothing we
can do about it except complain to them. Which I don't know how to do - they
apparently believe that the plain text versions of their books are akin to
their intellectual property and are unwilling to give them away.
How is violating Google's ToS against the law?
The verdict in _United States v. Lori Drew_ appears to set a precedent
that violating a site's Terms of Service is a violation of the
Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. It's not a very strong precedent, but
it's still there.
