http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2012-10/30/google-pay-french-newspapersIsn't this completely backwards? I mean, what would google lose (if anything), if they just blocked all french news papers from google search results ? Would it not be a much bigger problem for the news papers? How can a rational person argue that google should pay for indexing french news papers ? It seems to me it's just a desperate attempt to bring in money to the news papers, which probably are struggling already. Google are a search engine and brings traffic to these news papers, so to me, it seems like these newspapers are simply shooting themselves in the foot.

I don't think you'll find any argument here. There is nothing logical about this request.

Yes, but this is the other way around. "In Soviet France, ads pay for you."

It's a sort of fiat vs bitcoin. Fiat thinks to be shiny and better than bitcoin, truth is that there is a growing number of guys thinking the opposite. Newspapers cannot understand why their secolar business is going down in just under a decade, and push the governments to help them.
Google will simply cut them off if they don't find any good agreement google side.

I've noticed google results are recently 100% more annoying. Loose synonyms and bairly similar acronyms are listed in the results. A search for something specific gets corrupted really fast when "tmi" becomes "tmz" and unrelated content clutters the results. Maybe it's a resistance move by the French, I'm now dependent on an annoying search engine...
