EU Publishers, Google
EU Publishers, Google: Odd article... if you find links to source info I'd appreciate the tip, thanks. Associated Press leads: "European publishers warned Tuesday that they cannot keep allowing Internet search engines such as Google Inc. to make money from their content." I didn't see exactly what they wanted. On their website, the most likely items in their recent press releases don't show much to scanning, but there's a lot of them... the internal search (Powered by Google, heh ;-) doesn't seem to turn up the actual unedited comments. Hmm... Slashdot picked it up, but searching each page with terms like "transcript" or "speech" turns up nothing. More at Memeorandum. The stuff as quoted seems sort of strange (Google News doesn't offer either fulltext or ads, much less both), but the AP story has only the initial two quotes from the speaker, then the rest of the text is context from the reporter... they might actually have been talking about books, not news articles, I can't tell from the story. Does anyone know a way to find the actual speech from which these comments were extracted? Thanks! (Meanwhile, let me find the AP wishlist for them to include links to source info in all their articles, 'cause it's getting on to 2006 here.... ;-)

Not sure if this helps, but I saw the original Associated Press article on Yahoo.
