Saying that Google profits while content creators struggle, Microsoft is launching an aggressive push accusing Google of taking a "cavalier" approach to copyright concerns, reports the Financial Times (via MSNBC).
Tom Rubin, associate general counsel for Microsoft, is expected today to make a speech in New York pointing out that Google creates no content of its own but has no problem making billions in ad revenue off of others' content. Rubin apparently cites not only the well publicized problems Google has had with content on YouTube but also its program of making digital copies of books from libraries.

Google's stated policy of making only snippets of copyrighted books available, Rubin says, asks copyright holders to put far too much trust in the company.

The offensive from Microsoft comes as it is seeking to work with media companies to fight piracy on its own video-sharing site Soapbox.
