章节摘录

　　Microsoft has fought legal battles with officials in Europe and the United States over competition in the personal computer market. But now Microsoft is accusing Google of being anti-competitive. A complaint to the European Commission accuses Google of unfairly controlling the Internet search market in Europe.　　Google is already talking to the commission about the issue and says it is happy to explain to anyone how its business works.　　Google also faces other issues. Gmail users in Chinabegan reporting problems with Google's e-mail service in late February. The problems came as news of the revolutions in the Arab world filled the Internet and there were online calls for protests in China. Google said the government was interfering with its E-mail service.　　Google is the world leader in Internet search. But inChina， the biggest search engine is Baidu. And this week， China's largest Internet media company， Sina， dropped Google's search engine from its website. Sina says it is using its own technology.　　Last year， Google said a cyber attack from China had attempted to get information from the Gmail accounts of human rights activists. Google also expressed concerns about censorship. So Google relocated its Chinese search engine from the mainland to Hong Kong.　　The company is also facing new problems at home. A federal judge in New York has ruled against its plan to put millions of books online.　　Google wants to create a digital library of all the world's books. It reached a one hundred twenty-five million dollar deal in 2008 with groups representing writers and publishers. Google agreed to create a system to pay copyright holders when their works are used online. 　　……
