The Belgian company lost in the court of Google

A Belgian court rejected a lawsuit filed by a software company, which said that Google ’s search engine had serial numbers and “cracks” in search results, which help to illegally register their software.

ServersCheck BVBA , located in the Belgian Leuven, accused Google of the possibility of Google Suggest , which automatically offers (and therefore the name of the service Suggest) the most popular user requests as you type the query.

The lawsuit was filed in May 2006 and demanded that Google change Suggest to stop displaying tips containing pirated terms, but did not try to recover damages from the company.

So, when “ServersCheck” was typed in Google Suggest, the system offered to use the “ServersCheck keygen” query.

On March 1, a Belgian court rejected the lawsuit, saying that Google could not be held accountable for finding pages that might be involved in illegal activities based on search queries. The court also rejected the argument that Suggest features offer misleading advertising as it is not an intentional possibility of Google Suggest, said Trevor Callaghan, chief lawyer for Google products in Europe.
