Agence France Presse sues Google News
| |
Posted on Saturday, March 19 2005 @ 13:36:01 CET by Thomas De Maesschalck |
Agence France Presse (AFP) has sued Google for its Google News service. The company says that Google's online news aggregator is unauthorised grabbing content from AFP's website. This included AFP photographs, news headlines and story snippets.
AFP demands Google to pay a damage compensation of at least $17.5 million and to stop displaying AFP content on Google News.

one of the beauties of the web and particularty google news, is we can easily get our sources of news from a wide range of origins.
if fame is fortune in the information age , why are you so quick to kick a gift horse in the mouth ? |

I presume they are embarrased to have their news aggrigated in an international forum. |
