The Heise article says so - arbitrarily small citations fall under this law, and it includes hyperlinks. A link is enough. The fine can be up to € 300k or six years in prison. The Spanish education minister hails this as a pioneering effort designed to be followed up by the EU at large.
- visarga 12y ago> arbitrarily small citations fall under this law, and it includes hyperlinks This will do wonders for the SEO of these newspapers, not to mention their presence at all in the discourse.

- ekianjo 12y ago> arbitrarily small citations fall under this law, and it includes hyperlinks. Is this law retroactive? What do you do with the already existing links on the Spanish web and Spanish wikipedia ? It's not just a Google tax, it's a Hypertext tax.
- opendais 12y agoI suspect it'd be easier to just move your global, internet operation out of Spain completely with no legal ties for them to sue you with.
- Buge 12y agoA link isn't a quote though. It's an address. It's metadata. It's not in the content of the article.
