Another sign that newspapers are going under…
The News Corp. ( NWS – news – people ) chairman appears to have won a small victory against Google ( GOOG – news – people ), which it has criticized for giving Internet users free access to the publisher’s premium paid content. In the past two days, Google has released new tools that give publishers more control over how people view their online stories through its search engine.
On Tuesday, it launched’First Click‘, a program that allows publishers to limit users’ free access to no more than five paid articles per day.
Google has its greasy fingers on everything these days. They’ll get away with so much these days that they make so much money that any lawsuit they lose is just a drop in the bucket to them.
I just wish I was the one who created the search engine way back in the day when that ALL it was.
Oh, to be stinking filthy rich….. *sigh*
