niftydude writes "Should Google be held liable for images that appear in its search results? An Australian court has said yes.
A Melbourne man who won a defamation case against search engine giant Google has been awarded $200,000 in damages.
Milorad Trkulja, also known as Michael, sued the multinational over images of him alongside a well-known underworld figure that appeared in its search results.
A six-person Supreme Court jury found last month that Mr Trkulja had been defamed by the images, which he first contacted Google about removing in 2009."
