It is no secret to all that ever since Google has emerged as the foremost leading search engine company in the world its competitor Microsoft and Yahoo has been constantly trying to take away such title.
But it is not just in the search mechanism field that the companies are battling each other out but in any other commerce ventures such as the search advertisements and even the operating system industry. Now the two companies Yahoo and Microsoft is being joined by another prestigious company that deals with the selling of books, this is the company known as Amazon.
This opposition to Google by Amazon along with Yahoo and Microsoft emanated from the fact that Google is almost total with its project known as Google Books. The project Google Books aims to publish or quite advertise different types of books even those books that are already out of print but still has copyright defence or otherwise called the orphaned books.
This project aims to digitise all books even those out of prints with the aide of the different national libraries and then sell the books online and sell ads done on book searches. The proceeds that will be taken from this venture will be divided among and between the author and publishers where seventy percent of the proceeds will go and with Google where the remaining thirty percent will be accounted for.
Yahoo, Microsoft and Amazon has banded together and formed a coalition that will oppose such action by Google. This is because of the fact that the group assails that with Google controlling the publication of such books there would be a possible violation of the antitrust law and even the right to privacy of a citizen, not to mention the fact that Google can then dictate the prices of such books and would then make the possibility of the search engine giant tagging the books with unreasonable pricing.
The coalition was formed give a united voice in opposing the Google book project.
