A young man law for copyright in Spain forces her Google to close its service Google News. In a post at blog of Google in Europe today, the company says the closure of the service "really saddens" them with the new law coming into effect in January.
The company will begin by removing Spanish publishers from December 16 before the closure of the entire service in that country.
New Spanish legislation gives publishers using services like Google News the right to charge even extracts from the news used by the news collection machine. The law obliges all publishers to charge their content even to those who do not want money.
Google, on the other hand, should not display ads or earn any money from this service, so it will stop running as it will no longer be viable.
Perhaps the worst part of this fact is that Google will remove Spanish publishers from global results as part of the country's shutdown and blockade.
The new Spanish law was named "Google Tax" or a Google tax, and was voted as part of the effort to distribute 80.000.000 € from local media. Unfortunately, when Google withdraws News, things will get worse for publishers.
