Mehta dismissed an antitrust lawsuit filed by major publishers, including Penske Media Corporation and the education company Chegg, against Google.

出版社側は、これによってウェブサイトへのユーザー流入が減少し、広告収入や購読料の売上が削られていると主張していました。

The core of the dispute involved Google’s 'AI Overviews,' a feature that provides AI-generated summaries directly on search result pages.

Publishers argued this harmed them by reducing user traffic to their websites, thereby cutting into their advertising and subscription revenue.

彼は、出版社が検索トラフィックを「期待」するのは自由だが、公開されたコンテンツをクロールする見返りとしてGoogleがクリックを保証する法的な契約は存在しないと説明しました。

He explained that while publishers have an 'expectation' of search traffic, there is no formal legal contract requiring Google to guarantee clicks in exchange for crawling publicly available content.

裁判官は、企業が直面する現実的な財政的圧力については認めつつも、独占禁止法はこの問題を解決する適切な手段ではないと結論づけました。

While the judge acknowledged the real financial pressure these companies face, he concluded that antitrust law is not the right tool for this problem.

Instead, he suggested that the solution lies in legislative action, highlighting the ongoing tension between digital publishers and tech giants over the role of generative AI in search.
