"Mian said Google scanned her entire novel, titled Acid Lover, published by the Shanghai Joint Publishing Company, without notifying her or paying her for copyright permission. Google China deleted Mian's Acid Lover from their website on Nov 15. But she said a Google key-word search still brings up passages of her book."
