Microsoft Attacks Google on Copyright

Posted by Hemos on from the how-is-blistering-is-blistering dept.

The Microsoft Corporation has prepared a blistering attack on rival Google, arguing that the Web search leader takes a cavalier approach to copyright protection. The attack, such as it were, came from Microsoft's Associate General Counsel who was giving a speech to the Association of American Publishers...who have a copyright lawsuit against Google for the last sixteen months. So, an audience ready to hear about how Bad Google is.

    'such as it were'?

    I hate to join the chorus of people complaining about the 'editors', but... unfortunately, it is getting pretty silly, isn't it? Would it be that hard to just get some reasonably literate person with a bit of spare time and have them edit stuff?

    Microsoft can't beat Google with better products and services so they try to beat them with the law. It is pathetic. If Microsoft would spend all the cash they give to lawyers on R&D, they might actually produce decent product. Instead, they pump out crap after crap after crap.

    The reason Microsoft does is to shake corporate faith in Google. I hope the corporations don't fall for it.
