Microsoft attacks Google on copyright
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft on Tuesday launches a fierce attack on Google over its
| "cavalier" approach to copyright, accusing the internet company
| of exploiting books, music, films and television programmes
| without permission.
|
| [...]
|
| Microsoft is trying to differentiate itself from Google by
| portraying itself as more sympathetic to copyright holders
| than Google, and has sent a letter to executives of big media
| conglomerates, offering to work with them to eliminate piracy
| from Soapbox, a new video service on MSN.

Microsoft treats Linux in the same way (communism, cancer, unamerican). It is
has been using the same tactics against Google in the past.

| It is worth noting that Microsoft still hasn't made any headway
| in the search-and-portal game and, in fact, is falling farther andf

| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| is now warning media companies that Google is the Evil Empire --
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| because no other competitive tactic has worked.
