Google, stop the News in Spain: Mountain View: “I do not agree” – The Messenger

No more news via Google. Spain has said no, and even before the law passed by Parliament wanted and Iberian enters into force (January 1, 2015) Big G has decided to stop the service. From December 16 will not be possible, therefore, to track information about Spanish dominion Google News , with the American company said in a statement the reasons for the move.

“ Sorry but after a new Spanish law we are forced to close Google News in Spain , “it said in the post Richard Gingras , global head of the service Google News. The rule in question concerns the intellectual property and, in essence, requires the news aggregators have to pay the sources that the news service di splays in response to each user request. Daughter of diatribe tinged increasingly turned that opened between publishers Iberian (phenomenon strongly felt throughout Europe, with Germany and France at the forefront) and Google, accused of exploiting the work of others without reward precisely those content produces them.

For his part, Mountain View News notes that the service does not get revenues (no advertising), so that the service, if paid, is no longer sustainable. What is certain is that beyond the statements of the facade, not money the problem of Google, but the will not create an unwelcome precedent that could have dangerous implications if also shared only in a few other of the 70 countries where it is active Google News . For this the web company will remove all Spanish publishers from News service by closing both the Iberian section.

Since the articles of newspapers and magazines are the bread service News, publishers claim remuneration for their work , with the request that before the advance of the web and the crisis becomes a crisis of belief and, for many, a necessity to survive in a market that has been winning more and more victims for those who struggle to change directions and renew patterns of livelihood ineffective since exceeded . Should not be underestimated, however, the showcase that Google News offers each publisher, which in the Spanish case for example generates an average traffic included between 10% and 30% of the total. Certainly seems rather complex to find a compromise that satisfied both parties, as is sure, however, that a solution needed to be found, and also in a hurry to get rid of misunderstandings and, above all, do not limit the information available to users.
