Maybe someone who speaks Spanish could provide a more detailed article? The English-language web appears to be shallow this time.
- mahouse 12y agoIt's not about linking, it's about re-posting titles and excerpts of news, like Google News does (did?)
- visarga 12y agoA few days of Google-FB-Twitter blackout for Spain would reverse this law, but the newspapers that proposed it should be banned forever from the search engines and social sites, to teach them a lesson.
- currysausage 12y agoThe Heise article says that a mere link to the URL is enough (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8091162 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8091162). I really hope they mistook some Spanish source.
