Microsoft attacks on Google

Ya ur right this is none of the MS business...........i think MS is not capable enough to complete google in search techniques........so they start its negative markeitng

 

Microsoft attacking google on this matter is like pot calling kettle black. Cant they remember the DOJ case years ago ? What about the EU case ...? .. yeah, they cant win search, so they going after Google through other ways ..

 

nice thing you mentioned rahulm

but as far as copy righting issues are concerned i think google never had a clean chit in this nor they get into any trouble

actually i read it some where that google enjoys economies of scale even in sorting out legal issues

i am sure google has a strong team of lawyers

 

If you ask me, both companies are birds of the same flock. Got too big and forgot where they came from then ultimately forcing people to their will.

Google + Microsoft = Monopolistic Greed

 

you are allowed to use excerpts. how do you explain what amazon and other book sellers do in order to sell the books?

 

For one, as far as I know they use reviews, not excerpts. For another, I bet where they do use copyrighted material they have permission.

Thats true gaurav.............

it might be long battle.....on this copyright issue ..........and i m sure google wud not care for that.........they do wht ever they want.........

 

Isnt this old news? I remember this being brought up around a year ago?

 

They do use the text of books, but only with permission, for their search inside functionality - I just posted them the permission to use the print version of my website.

However, Google are relying on exceptions to copyright law, "fair use" in this case. This exemption exists to allow things like quotes in reviews without the publishers permission.

They are probably right about this being OK in the US, they may run into problems in other countries, as happened with Google News.

 

True......MS can never stand aside google

 

Are you serious? MS has been around since the 80's with DOS and have a near complete monopoly in their field. I bet every singe corporate PC at Google uses Windows. Just because Google is smack dab in the face of internet users everyday, don't think that MS is out for the count!

The biggest thing about Google is Google.com and youtube.com


Microsoft has:

Windows, Zune, MSN, Hotmail, Xbox, Programming enviroments Visual Basic, C++, Java, ASP, Microsoft Office etc,...

The average user can most certainly live without Google, but they can NOT live without Microsoft.

 

I was talking about Live.com v/s google.com .............

 

What are you talking about? I never even quoted you. I quoted harish.

 

Come on BC..see first post(#21) of this page we all are discussing abt search engines not the OS or GUI povided by MS or any other..thats why it was FYI

 

rahulm is right BlackCoder we r talkin about search engines and its techs. anyways in response to ur post...... Now MS is fighting with Mac and fedora in OS & its GUI tools market so soon monopoly of MS would get over.

 

Yes, but neither one of you stated live.com vs. Google. You said:

"Microsoft can never stand aside Google".

That leads one to assume you are referring to the companies themselves and not their services/products.

 

Ya right.... and i m sure that MS lawyers also use google to find material for their case

 

yes rahulm

moreover they have clear competitive advatage just coz of that strong team

but i think ethical business and corporate responsibility started pressuring google as well

their magic tech launch for youtubes shows that only

i think they are a bit more concerned than before about this copy writting issue

but one thing is clear they are safe absolutely coz no one can do any harm to them even if they voilates the copy writting law

they enjoys a real good possition
