Microsoft Set to Blast Google over Copyright
03.06.07
SEATTLE (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp. is set to launch a blistering attack on rival Google Inc. on Tuesday for what the software giant argues is the Web search leader's "cavalier" approach to copyright protection.
Microsoft Associate General Counsel Thomas Rubin argues that Google's move into new media markets has come at the expense of publishers of books, videos and software.
"Companies that create no content of their own, and make money solely on the backs of other people's content, are raking in billions through advertising revenue and IPOs,"
"Google takes the position that everything may be freely copied unless the copyright owner notifies Google and tells it to stop,"
"In essence, Google is saying to you and to other copyright owners: 'Trust us - you're protected. We'll keep the digital copies secure, we'll only show snippets, we won't harm you, we'll promote you,'" Rubin argues in his speech.
One of the new changes is the ability to blog the clips that I save and the clips that others post to Clipmarks. This particular clip was posted yesterday by one of the owners as they went live with Clipmarks 2.0.

to get a better sense of how it works and what you can do with it.
I'd also like to suggest Clipmarks if you haven't already signed up. I can't say enough good things about it except one word.... addicting! Look me up when you get there.
