This is a link to news.
Since blogger is owned by Google and they have struck a deal with 'registered news businesses', does this mean the link is going to cost them? How unmanageable is that. A company has to shell out a price based on what a user can post. Maybe Google only have to pay if the link is clicked? What if no one reads this page?
I find the whole thing offensive. It was so exciting to see Facebook pull the plug on every piece of news in Australia and see the government throw a tantrum.
Their own report was vague on what the definition of new was!
Official government document on the issue, page 15.News and journalistic content are then defined in the CMT report as: 'A diverse range of informative content about matters of import that can be defined by characteristics such as timeliness. ... Deliberately elastic, it extends beyond content produced by journalists'
I wrote my local member of parliament. I got a call back the day after the bill was put into place so I don't know how much impact it had.
