"Internet giant Google said yesterday it would appeal against a Belgian court
ruling that threatens to undermine the rationale behind its hugely popular
global network of news sites....A spokesman said the company believed the
case was "entirely unnecessary". "Google has a clear policy of respecting
the wishes of content owners. If a newspaper does not want to be part of
Google News ... all they have to do is ask," he added. Google has yet to
introduce advertising on its Google News sites..."

By the way, Google News is becoming broader while Yahoo News remains somewhat
narrow. Still, Yahoo is cleaner and the feeds are handled more properly.
But, either way, Google is quickly catching up. The gap beetween the two was
wider last year.

With kind regards,

Roy
