According to German publishers, Google and other search engines like Bing and Yahoo are in violation of the country’s ancillary copyright law and want them to pay 11 percent of revenues generated from linking to and publishing snippets of their content.
VG Media, a collection agency for copyright holders, mentioned that they expect the search engines companies infringing on Germany’s copyright law to pay for the amount of money demanded by Germany, as revealed by Well-known Digital Marketing Agency,
In response to the demand, Jeff Jarvis said: “Google does not place advertising on Google News. Are the publishers seeking 11 percent of 0?”
Furthermore, the bottom line is that these organizations are getting valuable link juice and visibility from sites like Google and Bing. Based on this fact, he added: “If the publishers really want a fair exchange of value, then they should also be paying Google for the links — the readers — it sends their way.”
