Spanish Newspaper publishers have joined the stream of some European countries such as Germany and France, and have asked the Government to take the promised reform of the Copyright Act to include the call rate Google. The aim is that publishers are compensated for the major search engines and aggregators Internet by using their contents. During the annual meeting of the Association of Spanish Newspaper Publishers (AEDE), representatives of the leading media groups have claimed that companies that make commercial use of the newspaper accounts remunerate the owner of that content. "This would not affect the end user or the blogger, but the major search engines that make commercial use", explains
In the same vein, the new president of the SAFE, Jose Maria Bergareche, announced that this entity adds to examine whether the joint initiative of counterpart organizations in France, Germany and Italy. For Spanish publishers, search engines news are causing "an undoubted economic harm" to the press. "They endanger the consolidation and the future of digital newspapers, and therefore the access of citizens to a free, quality information on the Internet," he noted Bergareche.
"We intend to sit down with the authorities so that the final outcome of this review will serve to protect and safeguard our legitimate rights, as is beginning to happen in our neighboring countries," he added.
Germany, for example, wants to impose a fee to Google for the use of the contents of the papers. Angela Merkel's government passed a law reform so that publishers can charge to news aggregators like Google News for using some of their items. France examines create Google rate, a fee that would apply to the advertising revenue of the websites. In Brazil, 145 headers claim that the Internet giant, the most used search engine in the world, get paid for using their contents. "Google News commercially benefits of this great content and refuses to discuss a compensation model for the production of these materials," said the Brazilian publishers
Spain raises join this stream. "In the press would be little new news without Internet" predicts Bergareche that alluded to a study showing that eight out of 10 news circulating on the Internet come from the press. Therefore, the proposed AEDE legislative review that serves to "protect and safeguard" the legitimate rights of publishers.
Especially in a "very difficult and hostile" as the present. According to the editors, the dissemination of newspapers last year fell 6% and advertising revenue dwindled to 12%. Overall, operating revenues are below 2,000 million (down 8%) and operating income was 43.8 million (53% less), giving a profit after tax was reduced to 28 , 1 million euros (58% less than in 2010).
For this year, the outlook is not encouraging. A report by consultancy Deloitte estimates that operating income will be similar to last year: revenues fall by 13% and costs by 11%.
