Google Reaches Deal With Belgium

Google said earlier today that it has struck a deal with two of the parties involved in the Belgium dispute over Google displaying newspaper content from that country.

But Google still faces a bid by Belgian newspapers - spearheaded by copyright protection society Copiepresse - to get the company to pull the news content unless it paid the newspapers or received their permission. A judge for the Brussels-based Court of First Instance said she would deliver her verdict in early January.
