@ 2023/06/28This means it does not steal song lyrics
The US Supreme Court refused to revive a lawsuit by music website Genius Media accusing Alphabet's Google of stealing millions of song lyrics.
The justices left a ruling that tossed out the suit, which accused Google of violating a contract with Genius by using its song lyrics in search results without attribution.
It's the latest victory at the Supreme Court for Google, which earlier this year won a battle over whether its video-streaming platform YouTube can be held liable for hosting terrorist videos.
