We continue to talk about copyright in the material that circulates in the network. It 'a few days ago that the news agency Associated Press has clearly expressed its intention to restrict the availability of their journal articles to search engines and other sites that until now could use it freely and to call on their Web page. Against the rules still fail to resolve that issue the problem of material made public Web and safeguarding the rights of those who created it, AP announced that soon will introduce software that will display for each news the legal limits of its use in the network. In practice we try to ensure that all material is more free to everyone but to use the work written by others there is a price. This at least to the concept that emerges from the statements of Tom Curley, CEO of Associated Press, which states that the use of an article from a third party requires a license agreement with the agency that has product: in short, to take advantage of the news should be pay.
A move in which the news agency tries to protect its material and obtaining a financial gain from the use that others make, but it played down the search engines and sites that publish links and references to these articles Web. Portals that aggregate news from various sources like Google News and Huffington Post are already paying for a license to dispose of the material of the agency, but now wants to extend the system to the rest of the websites. So who will be most affected by the limitations imposed ordinary users, accustomed to their searches for information to be led by Google and its rivals to free specific material scattered across the Web. In addition, search engines and web pages that contain links to articles often refer to the user directly to the source of the news site, then it could also ritorcesi against the same AP that could decrease the flow of people to see that every day is directed towards it. But the main interest seems to still be focused on a publishing revenue that is currently in crisis can get through a procedure of this kind.
On the one hand and then have free access to information that the network has always allowed the other defense and protection of copyright works through the payment of journalistic news you want to see. In the United States could be considered partly resolved the controversy over the policy of fair use , A cross between the two extremes of the problem laying down the conditions under which, for educational or scientific material protected by copyright may be used by others. But the recent decision by the Associated Press brings us back to reflect on issues and policies that attempt to regulate the Internet and are often at odds with each other. The question, as always, remains open.
Microsoft continues to launch attacks on Google in an attempt to limit its dominance on the web and steal a big chunk of users. Before the launch of Bing, now the agreement with rival Yahoo to manage all search engine and sales of advertising space. How will Google groped to defend its leading position? Besides the already announced Chrome operating system due out later this year, there will be more counter-moves? And in the meantime, Apple will remain to watch or take part in the war? There will be points of conflict with the antitrust laws?
