Thread: Murdoch: News Corp. May Block Google From Searching Newspaper Content

"So there!"

"We'll show you! We're gonna charge for our content and not let the search engines index it!" ... Epic Fail.

I don't like the fact that that they take the entire contents of my site and put it on their servers, so that people can read my copyrighted material just by going to Google and never coming to my site. In my opinion they should only allow the visitor to see the text that matched their search string and not view the entire page it was found on. Google is making money from the ads on its search ...

Edited on Tue Nov-10-09 11:25 AM by leveymg it didn't have anything to do with GOOGLE. It sure as hell isn't making Newscorp much money now. The reason he picked it up is that WSJ offers a great opportunity to shape attitudes of investors and other conservative elites. Murdoch is just a front man for the Saudis, and they have so much money they can afford to subsidize his publications...

I'm still trying to figure out how to block Faux news from my customized news.google.com. For some crazy reason, google treats them like they're a news source!

Good-bye, Murdoch. As your slow boat departs for hell we'll be standing on the dock laughing at you.
