Right from Yahoo! News:

"BRUSSELS, Belgium - Google Inc. lost an appeal Friday of a Belgian court's requirement that the Internet search company publish on its home page the ruling in a recent case it lost.

Google spokesman D.J. Collins said the company would appeal again at a Nov. 24 hearing when the court takes up a broader challenge, saying the requirement was "disproportionate and unnecessary." Google faces daily fines of about $640,000 for refusing to post the Sept. 5 ruling on its Belgian home pages, Google.be and news.google.be.

The company plans to appeal the main part of the ruling as well, even as it is already complying. The court ordered Google to stop publishing news excerpts and small photos from Belgian, French and German newspapers without first paying them or getting their permission."

I think that if google wants to operate in their countries they should have to follow their rules/laws and not try to have things as they want/see them.

This is business and google just trying to put something up without having to consult some countries on the guidelines or set of rules they should obey on that country.
