Irish parliament gets involved in newspapers demanding to be paid for
links
http://j.mp/Zp8wKD (Irish Times)
"A claim that links to newspaper articles online should be subject
to copyright law is to be raised at the Oireachtas Committee on
Communications, committee member Sen Kenny has said. A submission
by the National Newspapers of Ireland (NNI) to the Government's
review of copyright law includes web links in its definition of
content that the NNI says should require either prior permission
or a licence. Describing the NNI assertion as "absurd" and as a
move that could damage Ireland's digital smart economy, Mr Kenny
said he would be asking the industry group to explain its
position."

Some common sense fighting back against the newspapers' ludicrous and
dangerous position.
