Google posts court ruling on Belgian Web site
In short, newspapers have suddenly discovered that search engines are searching the internet. For some reason, these newspapers think that if the "content" they provide on their news-sites does not appear on the google news page, they will get more hits. In other news,
Publishers aim for some control of searh results
which essentially says the same thing. "Content providers" want search engines to pay for searhing the information that they have put up on the web. Sounds strange to me. If you don't want people to see something then DON'T put it up on the web! If it's up on the web on a public webserver, why should specific people have to pay for looking at it? It's like standing in the town square and demanding that people pay up for looking at you!
