It will start from Europe and will continue in Americas and it means that day when you can sell tons of ADS in Copyrighted material taken for nothing will never come. This ruling will open Pandora Box with law suits for Google. Once the guys will understand that Google will be sued by others they will not wait until Google will spend all its cash and sue by themselves, I am talking here about YouTube as well. The pressure on Google to institute more aggressive copyright protections and policies is mounting.
"BRUSSELS, Feb 13 (Reuters) - A Belgian court ruled on Tuesday that Google (GOOG.O: Quote, Profile , Research) may not reproduce extracts from a variety of Belgian newspapers, imperiling one of the web search leader's most popular services if other courts follow suit."
"Following a ruling in September, Google faced a potential 1 million euro per day fine for reproducing articles and was also forced to publish the judgment or pay a further 500,000 euros per day. The court on Tuesday cut the potential fine to 25,000 euros per day."
