Google To Block Reports From Spanish Publishers In Google News

The AP reports:

Google's decision to close Google News in Spain because of a law requiring aggregators to pay news publishers for linking content also means that the publishers' content will vanish around the world.

The company said it will block reports from Spanish publishers from its more than 70 Google News international editions in addition to the Spain shutdown on Dec. 16 — two weeks before a new Spanish intellectual property law takes effect.
