p2p news / p2pnet: Google may lose at least part of a copyright infringement case filed against it by adult magazine and web site publisher Perfect 10 Inc.

The company says Google users can get free nudie pix for which Perfect 10 punters have to pay, says the Los Angeles Times.

LA judge A. Howard Matz, "said he planned to grant Perfect 10 a preliminary injunction and asked the two companies to negotiate an agreement by March 8," says the story.

"That could include requiring Google to block Perfect 10 images from its searches.

"If upheld, the judge’s preliminary ruling could throw a kink into the way Mountain View, Calif.-based Google collects and displays photographs in the image portion of its search engine. Lawyers not involved with the case said it would have little effect on Google’s overall business, which generated $6.1 billion in revenue last year."
