FairSearch.org | Google’s Content Scraping Threatens Some of the Web’s Most Popular Sites: "Most of the “content” that Google provides in its sites such as Places or local or universal search is not generated by Google through its own investment. Rather, Google scrapes the content developed by other websites and displays it on a Google page. This enables Google to earn advertising revenues and to deprive the other website of user traffic.
The recent dispute between TripAdvisor and Google illustrates this practice. TripAdvisor spent years and many millions of dollars developing a collection of user reviews that provide a valuable resource to users selecting hotels and restaurants. Google scrapes these reviews from TripAdvisor and displays them on Google Places pages despite TripAdvisor’s objection to the practice."
