Google ensnared in a war of words
A few interesting things to note.

• Google may not have been extremely careful in the legal issues associated with some of its practices, which seems a bit awkward.
• We’re talking about Big Money here. In the context of Big Money Google’s good overall reputation and relatively careless practices seem somewhat more surprising.
• French opposition to Google may take the typical legalistic approach found in the US.
• There’s still a type of culture-shock between the geek-friendly Google and luxury markets such as the ones mentioned in this piece.
