Barrapunto

Yo no he sido nunca usuario de Google News porque es una copia directa de las noticias publicadas en periódicos españoles (la misma mierda, literalmente, pero maquetada en una página de Google). No obstante, desde aquí le pido a Papá Noel y a los Reyes Magos mi regalo de Navidad: que todos los asociados a AEDE http://www.aede.es/publica/Periodicos_Asociados.as p [www.aede.es] vean reducidas sus visitas al 1%, que pierdan ingresos publicitarios, que quiebren, cierren, y se mueran de asco.

Y de regalo, unos extractos sacados de aquí y allá, que nos permitirán comprender mejor la noticia:

Spain is not the first country to impose a Google tax. Germany, France and Belgium have approved similar laws, but the key difference is that in Spain the charge is "unavoidable" for publishers. That's to say, media groups cannot choose not to charge the tax and thus appear in the news aggregator service.

That is what happened in Germany, where the majority of news groups authorized the search engine to continue using its content for free.

Germany passed a similar law to Spain's and Google removed newspapers from Google News in response but in October publishers reached an agreement with the company after traffic to their websites plummeted.

Links to all Spanish media articles will be removed from the News service globally. The exclusion from the service will not, however, affect the way that news stories from Spanish media appear on the main search site at Google.

Por mi parte ya hace tiempo que no leo periódicos asociados a AEDE, habiendo ediciones en español de tan buenos periódicos internacionales...
