    > This is unrelated to defamation laws in any way. Did you even read the case-summary? "The respondent commenced proceedings, claiming damages for defamation from the appellant"

      Sure, the article is about defamation, but the current sub-thread is about Rupert Murdoch wanting Google to pay for linking to his news stories - which has nothing at all to do with defamation.

        Yes "this" was supposed to mean the whole "pay for news" thing has nothing to do with defamation laws.
