Utter | Staff Writer Microsoft and Google have agreed to remove content managed by Copiepresse of Belgium from their indexes, with Google further being requested to pay nearly $43 million in fines. Instead of battling with Copiepresse on its home turf in Belgium's Court of First Instance, Microsoft chose to comply with the firm's requests to remove German and French language articles managed by Copiepresse from its websites. A Forbes report cited Sylvie Irzi, from Microsoft Belgium, who said, "Microsoft does not, for the moment, wish to enter into legal debates with Copiepresse, and is provisionally complying with their requests." Despite the compliance, Microsoft does not necessarily believe Copiepresse is in the right on this issue. But considering how poorly Google fared in court against Copiepresse, Microsoft may be taking the easy road out of this mess. Microsoft also may wish to stay away from negative headlines in Europe. The company has been fighting antitrust officials in the EU, and their case will be heard eventually in the Court of First Instance in Belgium, which is where its appeals will be heard eventually. Google already had to display a copy of the court's decision against it on its Belgian home page for five days. The company fought the requirement, but finally posted the judgment at Google.be, in very small print.
