Amazon, Microsoft, and Yahoo are joining the Internet Archive in an effort that they hope will prevent Google from "monopolizing the library system."
From Maggie Shiels, BBC News:
Three technology heavyweights are joining a coalition to fight Google's attempt to create what could be the world's largest virtual library.
Amazon, Microsoft and Yahoo will sign up to the Open Book Alliance being spearheaded by the Internet Archive.

"Google is trying to monopolise the library system," the Internet Archive's founder Brewster Kahle told BBC News.
