Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger, FDP
German Federal Minister of Justice Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger recently spoke out against Google in an interview with Der Spiegel, and her criticism was not limited to Google Books.

She added that she sees Google developing into a giant Microsoft-like monopoly and concluded that legal measures would be warranted if the situation does not improve soon.
