Re: EU wants to cripple Google News service
said by TKJunkMail  :Google makes ad dollars from links to EU news sources. Those news sources are now trying to use copyright infringement as an excuse to kill off Google's news service or force Google to pay to list links to their news stories. Google does not have ads on their news page, so they are not directly making money from google news. Now since people are finding news through google, they are probably searching with google and that's how google is getting paid. The sad part is that these news sites linked to from google probably have ads on them and they are therefore getting paid when people go to their site. And the only reason people go to their sites is because it was listed on google news. I myself have never heard of a lot of sites on google news before, so in a way it's giving exposure to local papers around the world to the world. |
