The French news agency Agence France-Presse (AFP) has filed a lawsuit in the District Court of the US District of Columbia against the search engine operator Google. The object of the agency's lawsuit is to stop Google from borrowing without permission headlines, texts and pictures from the agency for its news pages Google News. AFP is suing for what amount to 13.2 million euros in damages. The agency is claiming to have asked Google repeatedly to remove the content in question, with the company having failed to react to the requests, however.

Would you prefer to read french news

Just spotted a new Google feature. If your results include some foreign-language links (example) a little box hanging down from the blue "Searched the web for ..." bar asks "Would you prefer to search for English results only ?". But if I do the search on Google.de, it doesn't ask me if I only want only German results. Speaking of foreign languages, if you speak French, you might like this french Google Weblog. And while not all of them speak French, up in Canada Google's helping to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving. (Yeah, they're a bit early and I'm a bit late...) (Thanks, Greg!)...

Lawsuit

Google Loses Second French Trademark
Lawsuit 02/05/2005 09:48 PM
Coming just weeks after a French court seemed to misunderstand the purpose of trademarks a second French court has ruled that Google cannot sell ads based on trademarked keywords. This time, the case was brought by Louis Vuitton Malletier. Here, the argument appears to make a bit more sense on its face, as it wasn't competitors that LVM was worried about, but counterfeiters selling products to people who searched on the Louis Vuitton name. Except... that's wrong. Louis Vuitton Malletier should be going after the counterfeiters, not Google. The counterfeiters are the ones who are breaking trademark law by advertising products that aren't actually Louis Vuitton. So, why is Google involved at all? They're just offering the platform by which these ads are placed and shouldn't be responsible at all for the content of those ads. Furthermore, as long as the ads aren't confusing buyers about the nature of the products, then there's no reason for it to be trademark infringement. It's just in cases where there is confusion -- and then it's the company doing the confusing that should be taken to court.

Leading French librarian calls for
European counter to Google 03/19/2005 02:55 AM

The head librarian of the Bibliothèque nationale de France has called for a European digitization project to counter or balance Google. Jean-Noël Jeanneney critized Google for cultural bias :

the criteria of choice will be heavily influenced -- even if we contribute ourselves, uncomplainingly, to the riches of this project -- by a point of view which is Anglo-Saxon, with its specific approach to the diversities of human civilization.
