Sylvie Fodor, Executive Director
Byby Sylvie FodorOn 18 December 2009 a French court found Google guilty of
"counterfeiting" and violating copyright of French publisher La
Martinière by digitizing hundreds of books within their Google Book
Search programme.
Google has to pay €300,000 ($430,000) in damages and interest to the plaintiff and stop digitizing and putting the books online. http://www.legipresse.com/newsletter/bandeaux/000001/000084.pdf
The importance of this ruling cannot be overestimated.
