Both Microsoft and Google want to scan books and include the digitized equivalent on a Web site. However, Microsoft recently alleged that Google's methods infringe on the IP (intellectual property) rights of various authors and book publishers. Carmi Levy, an analyst at Info-Tech Research Group says "the reality is that authors and book publishers need to work closely with search engines to remain relevant."

Meanwhile, an open source software advocate said Microsoft is trying to scare publishers away by adopting its own book search model. "Microsoft is being a FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) search engine," said Russell McOrmond, policy coordinator for the Canadian Association for Open Source (CLUE), in Ottawa, ON.
