Germany wants to kill the goose that laid the golden Internet eggs?
http://j.mp/y6LvZ5 (New York Times)
"In a move aimed at helping newspapers generate new revenue
from struggling online operations, the German government intends to
require search engines and other Internet companies to pay publishers
whose content they highlight. The German governing coalition, led by
Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic Union, said last week
that it planned to introduce legislation to create a new kind of
copyright for online publishers. Under the proposal, Internet
aggregators and search engines would have to pay the publishers if
they wanted to display all or parts of their articles - even small
snippets like those that are shown in search links."

A really bad idea. The likely name of this legislation will be:
"Keine deutsche Publikationen in den Suchergebnissen"
