A spokesman said they intend to appeal the ruling to the Court of Appeal where they thought they would receive the French case, that the servers are not responsible for the content their customers hanging.
The Court of Appeal of Paris ordered Google for having free access to the public photographs of a French artist, excerpts from the film Mondovino, a documentary on the Armenian genocide and another on the French corruption case 'Clearstream. "
The complainants claimed that their works appear on the Web, either through the Google search engine, or sometimes directly on Google Video (a video posting service that became obsolete when Google bought YouTube in 2006), Despite claims that the material was removed. According
Internet giant such allegations are "too old" prior to 2007, the year that Google launched a series of tools that allow the holders of rights terminate free access to their content through their platform and then delete them.
The French Supreme established in a ruling last February that Internet servers are only required to remove content when it directed its authors, but are not responsible for them.
The complainants considered that their contents did not disappear from Google's site after he denounced his presence without permission, so consider that the Court of Cassation (supreme organ of the French judicial system) will give the reason.
