Court rules that Google breaches copyright with news service

Belgian court has told Google that its news service 'Google News'
breaches copyright by linking to articles without the owners' consent
Google, the internet seach engine, has been told that its popular news
service Google News - which assimilates articles from various
newspapers and other sites - breaches copyright law.

A Brussels court has ruled in favour of a group of Belgian newspapers
which argued that the site, which lists links to news stories from
around the world, used material without their consent, and ordered
that the articles be taken down.

Google, which says that it has removed the offending content, claimed
that its service was “entirely legal� and has said that it will appeal
against the decision.

There was “no exception� for Google in copyright law, the Brussels
Court of First Instance said, ruling that the company must pay a
retroactive fine of €25,000 for each day the content remained on the
site.

Are you sure it is not the European Courts of Justice or the European Court
of Human Rights which alternates with Strasbourg.

More reason to vote against any party that favours the EU.
