One of two things is true.
Either Google News' listings are providing value to the news sources they link to, or they are not.
If they are providing value, then there is no justification for making Google pay to provide value.
If they are not providing value, then removing the listings fixes the problem and there is no reason for news sites to complain about being delisted.
But, to the question of headlines and short excerpts, those are well-established fair use. Google won't index sites that deny indexing in robots.txt, but that's a question of etiquette, not law; there is no copyright violation in simply excerpting two sentences of a news article.
I mean just "No" would be shorter.
(And also happens to hold the record for shortest movie review; it's Leonard Maltin's review of the 1948 film Isn't It Romantic?)
Really? Because nothing in your post actually contradicts any of the data you "completely disagree" with.
Did you read the article, or just the headline?
I was on Prodigy in the late '80s, and this checks out.
(Though some aspects of the Internet have gotten worse. Search engines are worse than they were five years ago. I also see an ebb and flow where people seem to have to re-learn the importance of the open Internet over proprietary silos every generation or so. But neither of those things is really what this study is about.)
It would be technically possible to build a machine that plays pirated Xbox or PS5 or Switch games. But anybody willing to put themselves on MS's/Sony's/Nintendo's/various publishers' shit list like that isn't planning on staying in the business if/when the sanctions are lifted.
Having someone complain about how you're not doing enough and aren't a good custodian of a project can be stressful, especially if you're going through other stuff.
Pressuring someone to do something may be more effective if you have some kind of authority, but that doesn't mean it's not pressure if some rando does it.
It really is an absolutely wild story. The complexity, the number of projects impacted (including convincing Google to disable a particular feature in a fuzzing tool that would have caught the exploit, and justifying it with a performance bug that the attacker almost certainly introduced themselves using a sockpuppet account), the length of time the con took.
This came really close to shipping with an Ubuntu LTS.
But on the other hand, it also came really close to shipping after a systemd update that would have closed the exploit.
As I already noted, voting against the omnibus bill because it is ultimately bad, while pushing for some nugget of good contained within it, is sensible within our current corrupt process.
Which would be relevant if that was what they were doing.
It isn't, but you already know that and are being intentionally dishonest.
The first person to articulate this Internet-based approach was Kevin Kelly, in his 1998 essay “1000 True Fans”:
A true fan is defined as a fan that will buy anything you produce. These diehard fans will drive 200 miles to see you sing; they will buy the hardback and paperback and audible versions of your book; they will purchase your next figurine sight unseen; they will pay for the “best-of” DVD version of your free youtube channel;
(record scratch)
I...don't think this was written in 1998, Glyn.
That and it takes fewer people in a smaller geographic region to elect them. The US Senate has its share of ding-dongs, the US House has a lot more, but local races elect the biggest ding-dongs of all.
(Padilla's fucking up here, but he's not a patch on, say, Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers.)
I guess it might make Trump more appealing to people who don't have the attention span to remember he tried to ban TikTok too.
They're all getting their talking points from the same sources. These people aren't big on thinking for themselves.

It happens. If I had a nickel for every hour I spent chasing a bug that turned out to be a missing parenthesis or semicolon...

The Plain Dealer lives up to its name.
But just because you can doesn't mean you should.
Well, they were both about 15 years ago, right?

She's married to Josh Hawley. I don't think humiliation is an issue.
