Yahoo backs digital library plan

Yahoo is taking on Google with its own digital archive of books, audio and video.

 

As part of the Open Content Alliance, Yahoo will help digitise 18,000 works of American literature plus material from national and European archives.

 

It hopes to avoid the legal action that has dogged Google’s plan by adopting an opt-in policy on copyrighted works. The Authors Guild is suing Google over its plan to digitise books and make them viewable without prior permission.
