Google advertising piracy?

Google advertising piracy? 08/05/2004 12:42 PM
Open eyed Neowin readers managed to snap a very interesting shot of the front page this week; no, not another impressive exclusive, but a advert. Neowin 'sub-contracts' it's advertising requirements to search giant Google and its program, Google Adsense. Widely used and widely regarded as getting the online advertising industry back on its feet, the program has seen large adoption and sucess in the online community.

What was so interesting about the advert was that it appeared to be advertising a link to a pirated copy of Doom III, the soon to be released game from ID Software. The link took readers a notorious software and film piracy site, Suprnova. Suprnova provides a centralised base for tracking torrents, or files often illegally hosted on the bit-torrent protocol.

Google claims to "uphold the quality and reputation of Google AdSense, all publishers who apply are reviewed according to these program policies", and says that sites that "promotes illegal activity" are not allowed into the program. Or not!

Neowin was unable to get a response from Google for comment. One would hope that in future the program would take more time reviewing the adwords accepted, and certainly not leave the job to a computer to do. Illegally issued shares might not be the only misdemeanour Google's committed of late.

Google Says Okay To Selling Trademarked
Search Terms 04/13/2004 02:10 PM
Considering the fact that they've come out on the losing end of a number of cases on this subject, it's a bit surprising that Google is so aggressively changing their ad terms to say that they will no longer prevent advertisers from buying ads based on trademarked keywords. There have been a ton of cases on this, from France< /a> to wallpap er to eBay to Playboy . In fact, despite all of this, Google was also sued by someone else who felt it was illegal that they were illega lly blocked from buying a trademarked keyword. While I think Google's position is the right one, the track record in court doesn't seem good. As we've said many, many times before, a trademark doesn't give you full control over a word or phrase. It's only designed to prevent confusion over the trademark. That is, if someone is presenting themselves as your company or your product, they have violated your trademark. However, to simply advertise themselves to anyone searching for your trademark - as long as it's clear that they're a different company - doesn't not violate the trademark. It's simply a good marketing strategy to position yourself where people are looking for that type of product. It's the same thing as making sure you're on the shelf in the store near your competitor. Thus, it seems as though Google's new rules fit with the spirit of trademark, but unfortunately too many people are misinterpreting trademark in a way to believe that it means you have total control over the trademarked word or phrase. No matter what, there are going to be a lot more lawsuits over this.

Contextual Advertising In Email May Be
Patented - And Not By Google

Contextual Advertising In Email May Be
Patented - And Not By Google 05/19/2004 07:17 PM
Here we go again with more pointless patent battles that will do more to hold back, rather than encourage, innovation. While Google has made the big publicity splash (with both good and bad publicity) concerning their Gmail offering that puts contextual text ads alongside email based on the contents of the email, anothe r company applied for a patent on a similar idea well before Google applied for their own patent. Now, there's almost certain to be some sort of patent battle concerning this type of offering, which will do little (if anything) to help ensure better solutions reach the public. Instead, it will just tie up lawyers in a long term battle that will pay off handsomely for lawyers - but only delay innovation for end users. Besides, I still wonder how such an idea is patentable? It's not as if it wasn't obvious. Hell, even I came up with the idea before Google announced their product - and if I could think it up, it's pretty hard to say that it's "non-obvious."
