GOOGLE NEWS IN DOCK FOR COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT


CNN reports that French newservice Agence France Press is suing Google over its inclusion of AFP’s contents and pictures in its Google News service. The French service charges a subscription fee for access to its services and is claiming copyright infringement in the Columbia District Court. Google has said that it gives publishers the opportunity to opt out of Google News, but most choose not to.


The IPKat wonders whether actions like this will do for the sharing of news over the internet what RIAA’s lawsuits did for file-sharing.

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
