In that regard, the specific laws of different nations will likely dictate the outcome of many aspects of Google's newest business strategies. In France, for example, it appears that industry dominance over information retrieval methods is sufficient to trigger regulatory restriction, even without financial motives for decisions about what information to make publicly available. In the United States, it is not clear that any such restrictions exist, although both the U.S. And the European Union do maintain strict antitrust prohibitions over the misuse of that information for monetary profit or to benefit a specific company.
In the U.S., it is more likely that evolving definitions of copyright and other components of intellectual property rights will dominate the legal landscape facing Google, rather than restrictions based solely on its dominance over its industry and market.
