Le Soir (meaning The Evening) is a Belgian newspaper in French. Le Soir was founded in 1887 by Emile Rossel. It is the most popular newspaper in the French speaking part of Belgium, followed by La Libre Belgique.

Google controversy

The paper gained some notority on the internet after it successfully sued Google for copyright infringement. The case was built on the fact that Google made parts of the newspaper's website available through its search engine and through its Google News service, even after the articles had been removed from the newspaper's website. A Belgian judge ruled that this did not conform to Belgian regulations and ordered Google to remove all "copyright violations" from its websites. Google responded as requested, by removing all links to the Belgian newspaper from its search index.
