The WSJ is reporting a Belgian court ruled this morning that Google violated the country’s copyright law by publishing “snippets and links to to Belgian newspapers” without permission.
The retroactive fine is €3.45 million, and rising up at a rate of €25,000 per day.
Kudos to the Belgians. If they aren’t selling papers, at least they’ve come up with a means to monetize their content.
Google’s defense, after all, is asking the newspaper group why they didn’t just opt-out of making their material available in the first place.
