so i said why is a university, like the university of michigan or harvard or stanford university asking a 6-year-old company to be the custodian of this immense amount of wealth and knowledge? this isn't end well, is basically what i thought. it might start beautifully, but this was obviously a controversial proposal when it came to copyright. the publishers and authors whose work was being scanned in raised lawsuits, and the lawsuits were settle inside a way that made it very clear several years down the line that google never really intended to make a library, it end intended to make a bookstore. and i love bookstores. there's nothing wrong with a bookstore, but i'm not too pleased with a bookstore that tries to pretend it's a library. from about 2004 i started seeing that google's real corporate mission statement which is, believe it or not, to organize the world's information and make it universeally accessible is actually kind of scary. you know, i was born in the 20th century, i lived for about, you know, 40% of the 20th century, and i know enough to know that when somebody makes

how you assess the university, but realized how universities were the only universities in the world, not to be autonomous, and not to any capital. well, what do you do with capital if you're a university? well, you can invest. you can guarantee loans. you can have a real autonomy, which was not the case until now. one wonders where do the teachers, these university professors, find the strength to succeed without any autonomy, without any funds whatsoever. until now. so total transparency on that, and total transparency on royalties and on failures if we should get, and on the successes. as to the rest, i'm going to wait. and then i will decide with the trying to re- -- with the prime minister. there's no question to talk about it, or to answer your question. it seems to me that there is a minimum of decency that we have to have towards the executive directors of the imf. they would be very surprised to see we would act as if they had already decided. so up to the last minute we're going to respect their decision and we're going to wait.
