According to German publishers, Google and other search engines like Bing and Yahoo are in violation of the country's ancillary copyright law and want them to pay 11 percent of revenues generated from linking to and publishing snippets of their content.
VG Media, a collection agency for
copyright holders, mentioned that they expect the search engines companies
infringing on Germany’s copyright law to pay for the amount of money demanded
by Germany, as revealed by Well-known Digital Marketing Agency,
In response to the demand, Jeff
Jarvis said: "Google does not place advertising on Google News. Are the
publishers seeking 11 percent of 0?"
Furthermore, the bottom
line is that these organizations are getting valuable link juice and visibility
from sites like Google and Bing. Based
on this fact, he added: "If the publishers really want a fair exchange of value,
then they should also be paying Google for the links — the readers — it sends
their way."
