That is just pointless. Remember the Leistungsschutzrecht where german newspapers got a law passed which forced Google to pay royalties for Google News excerpts?<p>Google just delisted them entirely, the newspapers saw a massive traffic drop and decided to allow Google to use their excerpts for free.<p>In case this gets through, Google will simply close shop in the EU, wait for the population to cry up, and after the EP&#x2F;EC have realized their mistake, come back again.
