Microsoft attacks Google on copyright

I did this article in relevance of what we are going to be learning in class. First and foremost the idea that a company as huge as Google felt that breaking copyright laws was okay is amazing to me. Google, one of the biggest search engines in well at least America, (not sure where else) Used over 100,000 copyrighted movies just on You tube alone, which is owned by Goggle. They are accused of using copyrighted material from books, music, films and television. They are being sued by the Association for American Publishes for making photo copies of copyrighted material. They are trying to justify what they are doing by telling all who are mad at them for doing this that it is okay, the copies are secure they are only showing small parts, and it will help them out. Honestly this is not something that i would expect Google to try and do because they are not stupid, clearly, yet they are trying to make what they did what was to steal copyrighted material and use it for their own benefits online. For them to try and get away with this it is crazy.
