Ohio Attorney General Says Google Not Protected By Section 230 In Antitrust Lawsuit

,----[ Quote ]
| Back in February, we highlighted a rather odd 
| antitrust lawsuit brought against Google by a 
| small company. Google had originally brought 
| a lawsuit against the company in the Ohio 
| state court system for failure to pay its 
| advertising bills, and the company suddenly 
| came back with a group of big name 
| (expensive) lawyers (who just happen to have 
| a connection with Microsoft), claiming 
| antitrust violations against Google.

After Caldera.com's Robots.txt is Removed, Some Evidence Surfaces

,----[ Quote ]
| In the old days, it seemed every time Groklaw 
| linked to evidence on one of those Caldera 
| pages, it went to the great 404 in the sky 
| within a day or two. Now, it will be possible 
| to fix all those links. I wish they'd sell 
| the sco.com domain name next. Maybe then we 
| could get the complete historical picture.

Microsoft Against Google Books Plan

,----[ Quote ]
| The tide has definitely turned against
| Google as it seems almost every company is
| gunning for the search giant. At a
| fairness hearing held last week in
| relation to Googleâs plan to digitise
| published works, lawyers from both
| Microsoft and Amazon spoke out against the
| company. Lawyers from Microsoft and Amazon
| have said that allowing Google to publish
| millions of books online would give it an
| unfair domination of unclaimed books,
| violating current copyright laws.

Antitrust attorney: Microsoft-Yahoo deal won't pass regulatory muster

,----[ Quote ]
| A prominent antitrust lawyer predicts that Microsoft and Yahoo's new
| partnership won't pass muster with government regulators because it would
| narrow search competition.
|
| Matthew Cantor, a partner at Constantine Cannon LLP in New York, said that
| when Yahoo's own search tool disappears, only two major search engines will
| remain -- Google and Microsoft's Bing.
