Google strikes dealing with German media to pay for online content

Frankfurt: Google said on Thursday it had agreed to a “milestone” agreement with a number of German media outlets to pay for their content usage online.
This agreement is the first with publishers in Germany after the country legislation on what is called neighboring rights, developed from the leading of the copyright of the EU and which has become the heart of several disputes between internet giants and the media on payment of online news and other content.
German Zeit newspaper Handelsblatt and Tagesspiegel, as well as weekly magazines such as Spiegel, Wirtschaftswoche and Manager Magazin, among others are parties to deal with American technology companies.
“For us and our partners, this copyright agreement represents a milestone in strengthening a successful partnership,” Google said in a blog post, adding that it was pursuing discussions with other publishers.
“Platforms like Google are important partners for us, no less important because they bring a lot of traffic to our website and we can take advantage of this commercial reach,” said Rainer Esser, Director of the Publishing Group Acting Behind the German Weekly Newspaper.
Both parties have found a “mutually beneficial solution”, Managing Director Spiegel Stefan Otlitz said in a statement.
The size of the size of an agreement is not given.
Giant Global Giants – Most Americans – have experienced various disputes with Brussels and EU members declaring taxation, abuse of dominant market strength, their privacy issues and to make money from journalistic content without sharing income.
To overcome this, the EU guidance creates a copyright form called the neighboring right which will allow the outlet to demand compensation for the use of their content.
The German parliamentarian members apply direction in the country in June and the agreement followed a similar agreement in other EU countries and with other technology companies.
