Microsoft leader in copyright fight

Google’s Internet search engine receives more complaints about websites believed to be infringing on Microsoft’s copyrights than it does about material produced by entertainment companies pushing for tougher laws against online piracy.

Since July, Google has logged more than 2.5 million requests to remove links believed to be violating Microsoft’s copyrights. Google Inc. isn’t identifying the nature of the infringements, but Microsoft Corp. has long complained about illegal downloads of its Windows operating system and other software. Microsoft had no immediate comment.
