Jonathan Steinsapir: An Epic Internet Copyright Battle on the Horizon? Microsoft and News Corp. vs. Google, Maybe
-
that's the issue: Google is copying other people's content. Copyright law forbids the unauthorized copying of others' content (of course, there are some nuances here as to what type of "content" is protected by copyright law - i.e., it must be "original" content - but set those nuances aside because they are not directly relevant to the issue here). So if News Corp. politely asks Google to stop copying its content, and Google ignores the request, Google will be engaging in the unauthorized copying of News Corp.'s content. And that folks is unquestionably a prima facie case of copyright infringement.

there is this little doctrine in copyright law called "fair use." That doctrine provides that the copying of content for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship or research is "fair" and is not infringement.
