Microsoft hands copyright
control over to publishers
Tracey Caldwell
Microsoft has moved further into searching copyright material with its Windows Live Books Publisher Program. Launched in May, the program will be expanded within the coming weeks to accept submissions in digital form, in addition to the print material currently being processed.
This follows Microsoft's recent move into searching copyrighted content within journals with the Windows Live Academic Search service.
Microsoft has worked hard to avoid the barrage of criticism Google faced when it launched the Google Books Library project to digitise copyright material. Microsoft's Clifford Guren, director of partner evangelism, Windows Live Books, said: "To be clear, we are only scanning and indexing in-copyright books with the expressed permission of the rights holder."
