> Without the law, Google takes whatever it wants without asking Google News does not automatically take your content. You have to apply explicitely to get it included. For regular search, there's always robots.txt. Claiming that there are any media/content producers who get included into the index against their will is absurd propaganda. Of course they want to be listed. They just want money, and Google has money, so they "convince" local politicians to make Google pay them their "share". Just like the Mafia.
