Google hit with copyright lawsuit by Danish online job-search rival

Danish online job-search platform Jobindex has filed a lawsuit against Google, accusing the tech giant of copyright violations. Jobindex alleges that Google copied job ads to its own service without permission. This lawsuit comes a year after Jobindex complained to EU antitrust regulators that Google unfairly favored its job-search service. The Danish Media Association, on behalf of Jobindex, brought the suit, and it marks the first legal action in Danish courts under new EU copyright rules regarding platforms' liability for content uploaded to their services. Jobindex is seeking compensation and damages for copyright violations.

The case references a previous 4-billion-euro fine on Google by the European Commission and alleges an anti-competitive deal with Apple. Google denies the claims and argues that the case is flawed.

Google to tweak search results to comply with EU tech rules

Google will make adjustments to its search results to give comparison sites more prominence, in compliance with the European Union's Digital Markets Act (DMA) by March 7. The DMA requires Google to treat rival services and products equally in search rankings and allow business users to access their generated data. Google plans to introduce dedicated units with links to comparison sites and query shortcuts at the top of search pages. This move may impact revenues of some companies and result in the removal of certain features from the search page. Google also plans to allow easier switching of default search engines and the transfer of data to third-party apps.
