Google News left Spain – Computer Point

Rome – How Mountain View had announced, from next December 15 Google News will no longer support Spain and the Spanish media.

He informed the summit of Google News Richard Gingras with a post: on service, which is born following the terrorist attacks of September 11 and the inability to find references to it with a search with the words “World Trade Center” and now operates in more than 70 editions in 35 different languages, will no longer find place Spanish newspapers.

This is a result of a new law in the country will come into force from January and that will change – in particular with art. 32.3 – copyright forcing news aggregators to pay a contribution to the content producers also to be able to publish only a small preview : This is the result of the pressure of ‘ Asociación de Editores de Diarios Espanoles (AEDE).

Mountain View, on the other hand, has definitely changed the strategy against such claims category become law: no longer opposed strenuously, but simply prefers to weigh their absence.
This way acted in Germany, where the protests publishers Google had responded realizing their wishes not to appear more sull’aggregatore, a result that probably could be achieved even with a speech on algorithms, rather than a legal proceeding. He obtained that German publishers would realize the utility of the service in terms of traffic and would return one after another to appear with links and previews of Google News.

The Spanish law, however, takes a step higher than than Germany, which had appealed publishers in revolt against Google: forcing content producers to take the heavy tax aggregators. In this way, therefore, should not create the competitive situation in Germany marked the separation between publishers struggling with Mountain View and other newspapers remain ed sull’aggregatore.

Of course, it is logical to assume that a user eager inquire in Spain through a service like Google News are looking for a substitute for one of the other national versions of the Spanish language: the fact remains that newspapers and local news will no longer have the opportunity to get noticed on the window of Google.
Spain remains then operating the news aggregator of Yahoo, which unlike Google News is funded by advertising. It could also take advantage of the struggle against the service of Mountain View Facebook, which just recently announced the creation of an ad hoc instrument dedicated to publishers for content sharing.
