The terms "torrent", "rapidshare" and "megaupload" can not be suggested when a person performs a search on Google. That is, should be eliminated as suggestions. That's what the Supreme Court has ordered the French in the music industry litigation against Google SNEP, whom he accused of helping to implicitly musical copyright infringement not filter those words.
What is the reason? The Supreme Court of France argues that Google
provides (indirectly) piracy by not filtering the above terms, so the
case was sent to the Court of Appeals which shall make the final
decision for Google.
Indeed, in 2010 the trade association of the Recording Industry of France, SNEP, filed a lawsuit against Google, this was a way to force the company to filter out certain terms in their searches, noting that when users write the name an artist, Google added suggestions of words like 'torrent' or 'Rapidshare', facilitating piracy.
This case went to court that gave reason to Google before it reached the Supreme Court ruled that Google is not responsible for web sites that infringe copyright, but can handle it difficult for the public to find pirated content. It also could add more terms to the list of censored words if the appeal does not benefit Google. What do you think?
