Can you provide us with the link please. Just where it says only the headline.
Should a newspaper that has spent money to create a news article have the right to sue people who copy and paste that article on Wikipedia or sue Wikipedia themselves?
Or should the parasites be allowed to make money off others hard work?
This law will make Wikipedia and other sites keep the law, which they currently ignore. Their excuse is "It's too expensive to keep withing the law." Should that apply to everyone?
Because at present if a newspaper plagiarises another persons work, they can get sued. The problem with suing people online is the cost and futility of it.
