Since 2003, Google has made available in Belgium its online free service “Google News”, which consists of offering Internet users a computer-generated press review. In his default order of 5 September 2006 (previously commented in [2007] 23 CLSR 82–85), the President of the High Court of Brussels found that, by offering this service, Google infringed the rights of Belgian newspapers. In its order of 13 February 2007 delivered upon opposition, the same jurisdiction confirms the copyrights infringement and partially withholds its decision.
