Microsoft is trying to thwart Google’s project to scan books and make them available for download, claiming that this is copyright infringement and deleterious to authors. Google counter-attacked by stating that, on the contrary, “the result has been more exposure and in many cases, more revenue for authors, publisher and producers of content.” Could this be yet another unfair battle between two aggressive competitors?

Microsoft has launched a scathing attack on Google, saying the search giant’s rival book-scanning service “systematically violates copyright”.
