Belgian Old School Gripes

I had been wanting to comment on the Belgian editors court win against Google and Google Operating System’s coverage of Google’s compliance with the court order promted me do it. I can’t stand all the legacy shops playing hardball just to get a piece of the action. When did they ever create as much value to the consumer ? Whether its books or newspapers, all I want is to be able to search content, maybe read a snippet, maybe read the whole copy or buy access to do this. But I don’t see any reason why Google should pay for sending traffic or business to their sites. It should probably be the opposite. So too bad for the Belgian publications, we just wont be on the same page anymore.
