Google Inc. has failed attempt to cancel the Belgian government's decision that blocked Google to publish links to local newspapers in the internet service. On May 5, 2007, in Brussels appeals court said the lower court decision that forced Google to remove links and pieces of articles from local newspapers in French and German in Belgium from Google.com and Google.be.
Google threatened with a fine 25 000 euros per day for any delay in execution of the sentence. Copiepresse, the group that filed a lawsuit on behalf of a local newspaper said, pieces of articles generate revenue for search engines, while the publisher should menibayar to article accessible.
The publisher has a second claim that is still being processed. They are demanding 49.1 million euros in compensation when the publisher of this article appears on Google News. "This case creates a precedent," said Flip Petillion, partner at Crowell & Moring LLP in Brussels.
Petillion sure, Google is going to pursue this case to the highest level because they have no choice but to appeal. Google still has the option to appeal to the supreme court in Belgium, the Cour de Cassation. However, Google's management said they were still trying to work with the publishers to find a way for publishers to make money from online news.
Google said a written statement, Google News will adhere to copyright laws. Google will review again the decision to take the next step.
"We believe that reference the information with a short headline and a link directly to the source, just like Google News search engine and almost everyone on the web, not only legal, but also encourages web users to read newspapers online," Google said.
In a statement, Copiepresse expressed his satisfaction with this decision and hope that Google has the intelligence to find equitable solutions to end this situation.
