Google and the French Press Publishers’ Association (APIG) have agreed on a copyright framework. According to the agreement, the U.S. tech giant Google will now pay French newspaper publishers for online content. This is the first such agreement in Europe.
Following the agreement with Google, French publishers were relieved to face revenue losses due to a reduction in the circulation of printed newspapers in France. “After the deal, Facebook and other online social sites will also be thinking about it,” said a French journalist.
Talks between Google and French newspaper publishers have been going on for a long time since the European Union introduced new copyrights. Under this copyright law, publishers will be entitled to a fee if they publish any of their news on the online platform. However, Google, the world’s largest search engine, avoided it from the beginning.
Since Google is a search engine, Google has been arguing that Media House’s site is getting traffic for its uploaded content. According to the agreement, the daily fee will be charged on the basis of daily published copies, monthly internet traffic and political and other information.
Google has already reached an agreement with some newspaper publishers on the basis of this framework. So far no one was able to send in the perfect solution, which is not strange. Google is going to take a special step in the name of News Show Case to pay publishers.
