The core of Google is a search engine and that case has everything to do with the founding principles of Google. As I said, this is just one of the cases. There was also Parker v. Google. Or Authors Guild et al vs. Google. Or Viacom v. Google.
- jacquesm 11y agoNo, because they don't actually have to expose the cache to make a working search engine. The Authors Guild had to do with Google books and Viacom vs Google was an outflow of them buying youtube. Really, you are simply not correct about any of this.
- Ologn 11y agoAlso Belgian Association of Newspaper Editors v Google. Also Perfect 10 v Google. These cases mostly revolve around the same issue - they say Google is ripping off their content.
- jacquesm 11y agoYou keep on bringing more and more stuff on that has nothing to do with what google was founded on. Google news linking to newspaper articles has nothing to do with the search engine and so on (it was in fact someone's '20%' project that gained traction long after google was founded). Anyway, I'm done with pointing these out, yes, google got sued a lot, nobody ever - as far as I know - sued them on what they were founded on, let's say pagerank or the fact that they are a search engine at all or anything closely related to their mainstay of income once they found a way to generate it (adsense). And there was absolutely nothing 'legally gray' about it.
- dilemma 11y agoYour dismissal of what the parent brought up is arbitrary. All of these lawsuits are due to Google's business model, which it needs to keep the search engine running.
- jacquesm 11y agoNo, google could run their search engine just fine on just adsense, we know that because they did. All that other stuff came later.
