"There are discussions saying ‘You’re stealing my content,’ but publishers have complete control on whether that content goes online in the first place. If they want put up a paywall, again, publishers can put up a paywall. We don’t force you to make it free. The other part of the extreme is even if you’re online, that doesn’t mean that we can come in and force you to index your content with us. And this is the whole robots stuff, where if you don’t want to put it in Google, or even just in Google News, you can block it." - Simon from Bookmarklet

I wish this were reaching a larger audience. I heard an interview of one of the Google news guys by the BBC a week ago where the interviewer spent half of the time saying things like, "Explain how you aren't leeches." It was really depressing. Now that I know a little something about a subject that is in the news frequently, it's unsettling how much I took the media at face-value before. - Ryan Moulton
