Whole World Should Be Up in Arms About the EU's Looming Internet Catastrophe
- Eridrus 8y agoI don't live in the EU, so despite how bad I think the outcome of the link tax will be, I want to just egg them on to do it. Either it will be bad for them and I will experience some grade A schadenfreude, or I will be wrong and will have learnt something.
- ID1452319 8y agoWon't the "link tax" simply result in new services publishing an open licence, similar to GNU? It does seem like an open goal for the likes of Google, Facebook and Twitter, as I can't see news sites wanting to risk losing vast amounts of their traffic, however I can't see why they would want to manage potential hundreds of licences with small publishers and aggregators.
