During the week starting August 13, Google received takedown requests for 1,496,220 URLs, up 35% on the record set just two weeks earlier and a huge 1,137% increase over the 131,577 URL takedowns requested August 8 2011.
Google says that during the last four weeks it was asked by 1,825 copyright owners and 1,406 anti-piracy reporting organizations to remove 5,733,402 URLs across 32,545 domains, truly huge numbers which on recent trends look likely to increase.
At this rate people who used to use Google to find copyright protected music & movies of recent vintage to illegally download will be out of luck. -- »www.mittromney.com/s/repeal-and-···bamacare »www.mittromney.com/issues/health-care |

 LinklistPremium join:2002-03-03 Longport, NJ kudos:5 2 edits | Apple vs Samsung patent battle jury reaches decision The knockdown battle between Apple & Samsung(a stand-in for Google & Android) has come to a decision. The Jury reached a VERY quick verdict after a 3 week trial and the Judge and 2 antagonists are perusing the jury forms before the judge announces the results. The results are expected any minute.

It looks bad for Samsung so far. Jury is ruling for Apple and against Samsung for patent infringement on most of Samsung's smartphones and tablets. Samsung was found to have WILLFULLY infringed. That may mean a big buck award against Samsung.
Yet to come is Samsung's claims against Apple and the summary of how much each party will owe the other. -- »www.mittromney.com/s/repeal-and-···bamacare »www.mittromney.com/issues/health-care |

A jury has found Samsung guilty of infringing at least some Apple patents in the mega-infringement trial between the two companies.
The jurys verdict, which is now being read, finds Samsung guilty of most of the charges read thus far, which cover various utility patents. The jury also found Samsung guilty of violating various design patents held by Apple.
The jury has yet to announce its decision with regard to whether Samsung willfully violated Apple patents or on Samsungs countersuit. Apple winning big so far: »gizmodo.com/5937762/samsung-vs-a···updating
Apple wins approx $1.05 billion against Samsung. $1,051,855,000, to be exact.

Now Apple will slap injunctions on importing of most Android products and then demand huge royalty payments like $50 a device.

Re: Apple vs Samsung patent battle jury reaches decision oh I don't know. She was equally nasty to both parties. But the Jury obviously loves Apple and the iPhone/iPad/iOS system. Looks like a home court jury in San Jose stuck it to the Korean company.
Now we get to see how much of the jury verdict & award is set aside by the judge as is often the case in big civil lawsuits. And then the inevitable appeals. -- »www.mittromney.com/s/repeal-and-···bamacare »www.mittromney.com/issues/health-care |

 KrKHeavy Artillery For The Little GuyPremium join:2000-01-17 Tulsa, OK | Such a quick decision. I'm sure there's a number of Apple Fans on the Jury. This is such a bad, BAD decision. The patents stand too despite obvious need for invalidation.
Also, Samsung is a Korean based company, although they are multi-national and world-wide.
Except maybe the USA.... soon. -- "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." -- Benito Mussolini

Re: Google now removing over 1.5 million URLs/wk from search DB Uh, they will use a different search engine? Knowing how many false or marginal DCMA claims are filed, everyone else will have to as well. Google Fiber and Google Auto better catch on, because Search is dying. |
