There may be a result in the story of Google News in Spain, which is expected to close tomorrow 16th December. Publishers, meeting nell’Aede (Spanish Association of Newspaper Publishers) ask for a government intervention on the “link tax” – the law that gives effect to the requirement for anyone post a link or a brief quotation from a newspaper to pay a ” fair compensation “to the publisher – and ventilate the possibility of opening negotiations with the Mountain View giant, as happened in Germany.
The news was released by the website The Spain Report. Google’s decision “will undoubtedly have a negative impact on citizens and publishing Spanish,” writes the AEDE in a document released a few hours ago. “Given the dominance of Google – adds – the AEDE requires the intervention of the community and of the Spanish authorities, as well as those of the competition, to protect the rights of citizens and businesses.” Irene Lanzaco, spokesman for the Association, contacted by telephone by The Spain Report explained that he “does not ask Google to take a step back, but to open the negotiations.” In Germany, a publishing giant Axel Springer as (that counts on sites known as bild.de, welt.de, computerbild.de, sportbild.de and autobild.de) has made in recent months back off on the decision not allow Google to show previews of the articles of his newspapers, because of the collapse of the oncoming traffic.
