This is why the behavior of AEDE here disgusts me, while I am a fan of attempts to break up Microsofts business and desktop monopolies.
Google is in a symbiotic relationship with news agencies here. They may not like it, but Google is not ripping anyone off operating a news aggregator, and their willingness to just up and leave proves it. Spanish media just wanted a piece of the Google pie and now it is biting them in their own ass and now they are trying to use the state to force Google to give them money. Its like they want their mafia dues for owning the state enough to pass bullshit like the original law.
