Yahoo Tells Belgian Newspapers They Did Nothing Wrong
Jan 19, 2007 at 9:45am ET by Barry Schwartz
Yahoo Denies Violating Belgian Copyright Law at the Wall Street Journal gives us insight into how Yahoo will be handling the legal threat by Belgian newspapers to sue Yahoo over violating copyright laws. Yahoo has claimed that they did not violate any copyright laws for “publishing snippets and links” to their newspapers. Yahoo released a statement saying, “We can confirm that Copiepresse has contacted us regarding the display of archived results on our Web search service and we will respond in an appropriate manner.” Now, Yahoo can either remove the content without going to court or they can take Google’s route and fight the claims.
