Happy to support this bill extended to news sites that link to my personal website and information being forced to pay me for the privilege.


Over here (New Zealand) the newspaper websites never link to anywhere. Especially not the webpage a story is talking about. Pictures get grabbed off websites[1] and credited to "Supplied".

Over here in AU it's much the same.

To the point where AU Sub Reddits posters often put 'F U Murdoch' style watermarks on their images.

So much of the news and headlines is ripped straight from Reddit posts it's no longer amusing...
