PC World: Google and French Wire Service Settle Lawsuit (April 7, 2007)
The AFP and Google have signed a licensing agreement that grants Google permission to use AFP news and photos, the AFP said Friday in a news release. AFP sued Google in March 2005, alleging that Google broke the law by including, without permission, AFP material in Google News, a site where Google aggregates links, text snippets and thumbnail photos of articles from thousands of media outlets. In its defense, Google argued that the Google News site is protected by the fair use principle, which allows for limited use of copyright material, and that headlines, text snippets and thumbnail images aren't protected by copyright.
