French music group accuse Google of encouraging piracy

The French Supreme court has ordered Google to delete the term ?torrent? from their autocomplete search feature.

An on-going case with French music group SNEP and Google has escalated to the point where the music group is accusing Google of implicitly allowing copyright violations.

SNEP alleges that when a well-known French musician is typed into Google search, it autocompletes the suggestion by adding file-sharing sites.

?RapidShare and ?Megaupload? are two other terms which SNEP are trying to ban alongside ?torrent?.

Despite the courtcase, Google have already removed millions of URLs which link to copyrighted or pirated material.
