BRUSSELS - Internet search giant Google Inc plans to appeal the judgement delivered by a Belgian court which found against it in a copyright case brought by Belgian newspapers' representative body, Copiepresse, a company spokesman told Agence-France Presse.The court in Belgium found that Google, in re-publishing newspaper text and photograph content without the permission of the newspapers, was in breach of copyright.A year ago Copiepresse, which groups Belgium's French-language newspapers together, took Google News to court to make them request permission and pay when showing their articles on its site.On September 5, a Belgian court ordered Google News to stop reproducing content from French-language and German-language newspapers in Belgium on its Belgian website and imposed fines as long as it did not respect the decision.frances.robinson@afxnews.comafp/fr/jlcCOPYRIGHTCopyright AFX News Limited 2006.
