Google may be included in the suggestions and the like Megaupload

The Court of Appeal of Paris put some sanity to the infamous Hadopi Act , regulation which is supported by many record companies to put pressure on accommodation in the network. With this resolution, Google may suggest in your system search terms including "committed" as Megaupload , Rapidshare or BitTorrent . The Court did not find any kind of action that would lead to piracy as stated in the lawsuit filed by the National Union of Phonographic Edition ( SNEP ) and therefore makes clear two concepts: suggest it is not piracy and file sharing sites not illegal, what are the Internet with their actions.

The lawsuit in question was initiated in April last year, when lawyers challenged in France SNEP Article 336-2 of the code on the protection of intellectual property rights. This was to prevent any page or accommodation induce piracy. For this and Hadopi covered by the Act, which allows a court to order at the request of rights holders against infringement action (including prevention), ended up filing a lawsuit to block Google's suggestions act search.

Still, it will be difficult now that the company select terms such as Google promised to filter any content that could lead to illicit practices that may infringe copyright.

In any case it is a ruling that was opposed for the first time in the country Hadopi. One measure, the Court's common sense and democratic as highlighting concepts that the same law censorship. First, to suggest it can never be piracy, and second, the accommodations like BitTorrent or Megaupload, still exist in your system illegal content are not illegal in any case, the surfer, the very individual who infringes copyright.
