DISQUS

I have found that several companies allow you to read local newspapers from around the world, with what seems to be the same look and feel as the original. www.newspaperdirect.com is one such outfit as well as www.newsstand.com both offer multiple titles including the NYT for a fee that is interesting to the end user. I happen to work in media monitoring, so far from being a plug for these products, we actually use them at work.

I agree with you, this victory could signal the end of easy access to news stories online. Agencies like copiepresse, have their equals in many countries and I just hoe that none of them will follow suit. I think that this is either some bureaucratic atack on what they perceive to be an american incursion on their property, or a complet lack of understanding of what is actually happening out in today'S web. If they think that Google in a deterant to them trying to sell their own content, well they should observe what many networks here in canada o with their online content. Teasing us to no-end with their subscription based access, until a certain amount of time has passed. i.e. Canada.com
