	Google And The Belgian Newspapers Start To Make Peace There’s a slight thaw in the relationship between Google and French language newspapers printed in Belgium. Copiepresse, the publishing group representing the newspapers, and Google have agreed a system for Google to link the newspapers’ web sites and those newspaper sites are thus accessible again on Google. follow-up to: It Wasn’t A Complete Loss For Google In Its Dismal Belgian Copyright Case – The Court Agreed It Can Index Material Without Explicit Permission, But Must Remove It Within 24 Hours If Asked The win for Google: A Belgian court basically reaffirmed what Google says it does anyway and ruled that if copyright holders ask for their material to be removed from Google News then it be gone within 24 hours or face a €1,000 daily fine. Google says its policy anyway is to remove material when asked (but not necessarily within 24 hours) so now it has a legal timeframe and it knows the penalty for late compliance. But accessing archived material will be prevented by the newspapers using a “no archive” tag that stops the Google robot in its tracks when it comes across an item the publishers don’t want cached. The two sides have not reached any out-of-court settlement yet on the main issue – using newspaper story links on Google News -- but the noises coming from both sides last week indicated a desire for there to be a meltdown and for everyone to become one big happy family again. – May 7, 2007 Keywords:UK tabloids, copyright protection
