Google almost made peace with Belgian newspapers

Last Thursday, the French-language Belgian newspapers “returned” to Google's indexing system. Copiepresse was pleased with the search engine by allowing Google to link again to a number of publications.

Previously, the search engine was ordered to remove all references to Belgian newspapers in the search results, since this, according to the plaintiffs (the case was considered in court) violated their copyright. Similar Copiepresse lawsuits filed against Yahoo and Microsoft, but so far only Google has been able to "fight off".

Of course, not all legal issues have been resolved, but the participants in the dispute hope that they will be able to be settled out of court.
