Microsoft criticizes Google's copyright stance
Microsoft's general counsel criticized Google in his prepared remarks to the Association of American Publishers, arguing that the search giant doesn't respect copyrighted works, either with its book scanning projects or with YouTube. Microsoft, of course, offers competing book scanning projects and is involved with the Open Content Alliance, which only copies books with the publishers' permission, so their resistance to Google's projects is to be expected. Danny Sullivan dissects Microsoft's claims at Search Engine Land.
