“We want to discuss with Google what is the best way to comply with what the French competition authority will say,” says Pierre Petillault, the director of Alliance de la Presse d’Information.
The French affair has been facilitated by the EU’s copyright directive that introduced new “neighboring rights” for publishers to seek compensation for their content being used.
