French Publishers Sue Google

Cnet News.com:

The French publishers union, Le Syndicat National de l'Edition (SNE), has joined book publisher Le Martinière Groupe in its copyright suit against Google.

The SNE said in a statement that Google Book Search gives access to multiple extracts of works without authorization and, by doing so, holds in contempt the fundamental rules of the right to intellectual property.

The suit, filed in French court on Oct. 24, is similar to the lawsuit Google faces in the U.S. from the Authors Guild.
