BRUSSELS, Belgium-A Belgian court has ordered Internet search engine Google Inc. to stop publishing content from Belgian newspapers without permission or payment of fees, a Belgian press association said Monday.
The Belgian Association of Newspaper Editors, which handles copyright for the French- and German-speaking press in the country, lodged the complaint against Google.
If Google doesn't comply with the ruling and continues to publish Belgian newspaper copy without permission or without paying a fee, the Belgian Court of First Instance will fine the company € 1 million (US$1.27 million) daily, the association said.
