Random Google News
Here are three stories I'm not particularly interested in, but feel I should be covering anyway (talk about your ringing endorsements!):
- WebTalk Radio had an interview with Googlettes director Georges Harik, about Gmail and Google's innovative work environment.
- A porn site, Perfect 10, is suing Google for providing links to copyrighted photos from their web site. Didn't they realize that arguement didn't work against P2P programs?
- And finally, Google has named former T-Mobile Chief Marketing Officer Nikesh Arora its new vice president of European operations.

The case isn't strong at all. Google is not linking to copyrighted material, it is simply located within an automated index. In the P2P cases, the courts ruled that even though copyrighted material was available on their networks, they were not liable because it was the users who were violating copyrights, not the company. I think Google's index operates under the same rules.
