The European Court of Justice will consider Germany's ancillary copyright law, which lets publishers charge search engines like Google for using article snippets in their news aggregators. Germany, where Google has a search market share of over 90%, passed a law in 2013 introducing ancillary copyright, which required Google to pay for the snippets used in Google News. In response, Google simply stopped using the snippets. This caused traffic to the sites to plummet, and the web giant was quickly given a waiver. Now the ECJ will decide if the law is legitimate in the first place.
