Google which is trying to dominate the internet's huge marketing potential via introducing a huge online library hit a snag yesterday as the US Justice Department has urged a New York court to reject the deal. According to BBC, the deal would see copyright and also anti-trust issues emerge.
The deal according to Google would benefit global book readers as access on books will be unlimited to those whom wish to read it via its newly created Book Rights Registry. Nonetheless, Amazon whom is well known for publishing digital book argues that Google's move is unfair to authors, publishers and others whose works would be the subject of a compulsory license for the life of the copyright in favor of Google and the newly created Book Rights Registry.
At the current moment, Yahoo and Microsoft are another two giants not in favor of Google's move, and it now depends on whether the New York court would eventually deny Google's ambition.
