French publishers take Google to court for 'forgery'; AVP, 9/24/09

Dominique Chabrol, AVP; French publishers take Google to court for 'forgery':

"France's Seuil publishing house filed its suit accusing Google France and Google inc. of forgery back in June 2006 but had to wait until Thursday before the case finally reached a courtroom.

It reckons that up to 4,000 works published by the group have been digitized by Google without his consent.

The SNE estimates that about 100,000 French books that are still under copyright have been digitized by the Internet company."
