Eh I think it fits reality perfectly. Same energy as the standard pull yourself up by the bootstraps when you don't even own boots.

What? This is about forcing google to pay to use Canadian news in search results because they are making money off ads in the search.

Now they are mad that google decides not to use those Canadian news sources in their search results anymore.

If the "harm" was using the content (and thereby taking money that would have gone to those news sources) why would not using it be bad?

Which is crazy. That is lke having a law that mandates YouTube reviewers use copyrighted content from the media they are reviewing and pay for it because those reviewers are making money on the content they are reviewing.

Or even more accurate, not reviewing media you don't have permission to use copyrighted content is not allowed and you are forced to pay to review media you don't even want to review.

So why is google deciding their content isn't worth paying for (and no longer using it in results) bad exactly?

If the harm is "stealing" content and costing news companies money by doing so how is not using that content bad?

Ok. Then why is Canada mad google isn't linking to Canadian need sites anymore?

This is like complaining that someone decides not to use copyrighted material instead of paying for it. You don't have a right to someone's content and they don't have a right to force you to use and pay for their content either.

Yes. Because somehow Google pointing to their news sites is supposedly hurting them and taking money from them.

Also google stopping this practice that they say hurts the news companies is also evil and wrong of Google as well.

The only morally correct course is to be forced to link to sites you don't want to pay for by force of the Canadian government.

It's kinda like if copyright law was just created and the idea that you would just not use copyrighted content instead of paying for it is seen as evil and subverting copyright law.

Because it is irrelevant to the article and they are just spamming it everywhere.

If Canada is correct Feedly and even your app should be paying for the news sites it shows as well.
