""Given Google's scale, size and market condition, they need to come to a place of playing ball," Vogel said Monday."
""Maybe because they don't have to," Vox Media CEO Jim Bankoff said. "This is not my opinion, other cases have found they have a dominant position.""
""This tension between fair use and exclusive rights actually encourages conversation and encourages parties to get together to have deals. We at Google, we've started to do that," he said."
Penske Media Corporation sued Google, claiming the company illegally uses publisher journalism to generate AI summaries and diminishes traffic to publisher sites. People Inc. CEO Neil Vogel labeled Google an "intentional bad actor" for using a single crawler for both search and AI features. Executives argued Google’s scale and market position reduce its incentive to strike deals with publishers and allow it to retain leverage. Vox Media’s CEO noted legal findings of dominance. Google defended AI overviews as improving search and directing higher-quality traffic, and said fair-use tensions encourage dealmaking.
