Belgian Newspapers Sue Google For Copyright Damages — Google — InformationWeek
Newspapers in Belgium want Google NSDQ: GOOG to pay for copyright infringements since a Belgian court ruled that the search engine violated copyrights by reprinting headlines and sentences on Google News.
Members of the Belgian press are seeking about $77 million in damages for use of the material. Google launched its news page service in Belgium in 2006. Soon after, papers there sued the company to stop it from linking to their articles.
